Pollution Prevention Services

Re-launch of P2 News

For more than 20 years, Iowa businesses and institutions have saved money and become environmental leaders by working with the DNR’s Pollution Prevention (P2) Services. We offer confidential and non-regulatory assistance to improve bottom lines and reduce environmental impacts.

In an effort to better serve our clients in 2017, we are relaunching P2 News on a monthly basis. Our mission for this newsletter is to foster a pollution prevention community in the State of Iowa by providing our clients with accurate and current technical information and resources, and details regarding local environmental conferences and workshops. We want to provide a platform from which Iowa companies can be recognized and celebrated for their pollution prevention efforts and successes and an avenue through which valuable lessons learned might be shared.

Meet the P2 team members that can help you with your pollution prevention efforts.
