About the Program

Manufacturers with fewer than 500 employees at any one facility are eligible to have a multi-media pollution prevention assessment undertaken by a pre-qualified pollution prevention consultant from OCETA’s roster. The consultant will identify the root causes of priority pollutants and wastes, and recommend improvements in technology, processes and the operating practices for the facility.

Participants receive a funding incentive of up to 50 per cent (maximum $4,000) to help offset the costs of an $8,000 pollution prevention assessment conducted by a pre-qualified pollution prevention consultant.

By participating, businesses can:

• Save money and reduce cost
• Reduce business risks and preserve capital asset value
• Reduce or eliminate toxics, sewer discharges, smog precursors, greenhouse gas emissions, and hazardous wastes at the source
• Reduce or eliminate their need to report to the Ontario Mandatory Emission Reporting Regulation 127, Ontario Hazardous Waste Information Network (HWIN) and the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI)
• Meet or exceed the regulatory requirements of the Municipal or Regional Sewer Use By-law and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA)
