abstract

  • The proposed project will provide on-site technical assistance along with five targeted training pilots focused on reducing the environmental footprint and business costs of small businesses and maintenance facilities within the automotive sector. Project activities will identify and pilot to eight targeted businesses economically advantageous chemical alternatives to replace existing and highly toxic chemical solvents. In addition, the piloted trainings will deliver information on reducing energy costs and conserving water releases. At least three case studies will be developed and distributed through our website and various P2 listservs to targeted audiences representing small businesses and maintenance facilities within the auto sector throughout the New England states for the purpose of disseminating P2 best practices and replicating lessons learned to others.
