Pollution Prevention (P2) Program

NEWMOA formed a Northeast Pollution Prevention (P2) Program in 1989 to enhance the capabilities of the state and local government environmental officials in the northeast to implement effective multi-media source reduction and sustainability programs to improve public health and the environment.

Previously, NEWMOA served state and local P2 programs by:

  • Managing regional meetings
  • Conducting training
  • Researching source reduction strategies and techniques
  • Leading P2 technical assistance projects for priority sectors

Currently, NEWMOA coordinates a particular P2 project for the craft beverage sector. The BetterBev Program is a coordinated effort with the Rhode Island DEM and many other state programs.
