 Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx) – www.p2rx.org
The Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx™) is a consortium of eight regional pollution
prevention information centers. These centers all provide pollution prevention information, networking
opportunities and other services to States, local governments and technical assistance providers in their
region. The centers represent a broad constituency, which contributes to an overall breadth of P2
information and opportunities.
 Solvent Alternatives Guide (SAGE) – http://clean.rti.org
SAGE is a comprehensive guide designed to provide pollution prevention information on solvent and
process alternatives for parts cleaning and degreasing. SAGE does not recommend any ozone depleting
chemicals.
 Coating Alternative Guide (CAGE) – http://cage.rti.org
CAGE is a pollution prevention tool for paints and coatings users. The Coatings Guide™ contains
several tools to help users identify low-volatile organic compound/hazardous air pollutant coatings that
may serve as drop-in replacements for existing coating operations.
 Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) – www.turi.org
The Toxics Use Reduction Institute helps Massachusetts companies and communities find innovative,
cost effective ways to reduce toxic chemical use at the source, rather than treat wastes once produced.

Also their latest initiative investigates substitutes for Lead, Formaldehyde, Perchloroethylene
(PCE), Hexavalent chromium, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP).

 Pollution Prevention Roundtable – www.p2.org
The National Pollution Prevention Roundtable, is the largest membership organization in the United
States devoted solely to pollution prevention (P2). [The mission of the Roundtable is to provide a
national forum for promoting the development, implementation, and evaluation of efforts to avoid,
eliminate, or reduce pollution at the source.]
 Enviro$en$e – http://es.epa.gov
Enviro$en$e provides a single repository for pollution prevention, compliance assurance, and
enforcement information and data bases. The search engine searches multiple web sites (inside and
outside the EPA), and offers assistance in preparing a search.
 Pollution Prevention Gems (P2 Gems) – www.p2gems.org
A guide to hundreds of Pollution Prevention resources on the internet

Waste Reduction Resource Center (WRRC) – http://wrrc.p2pays.org
A member of the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx) network of regional centers, the
Waste Reduction Resource Center provides pollution prevention technical support to the states in EPA
Regions III and IV.
 Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA) – www.newmoa.org
As a part of P2Rx, NEWMOA contains searchable databases of regional pollution prevention, solid
waste, and waste site cleanup information. In addition, a rapid response service, subject specific
resource guides or Hubs, and up-to-date information on NEWMOA workgroup activities are available.
 Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) – www.epa.gov/ozone/snap
The Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program is EPA's program to evaluate and regulate
substitutes for ozone-depleting chemicals being phased out under the stratospheric ozone protection
provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The purpose of the program is to allow a safe, smooth transition
away from ozone-depleting compounds by identifying substitutes that offer lower overall risks to human
health and the environment.
