Environmental Management
Systems |
|
|
|
| An Environmental
Management System (EMS)
is a set of processes and procedures that helps an
organization analyze, control and reduce its environmental
impact. An EMS can help an organization operate with
greater efficiency and reduce costs while maintaining
or even going beyond compliance obligations.

|
Innovation/Experimental
Projects |
|
|
|
|  Experimental
Projects develop and test new approaches to solving
environmental problems. Conducted jointly with state
and local partners, environmental and community groups,
and industry, projects are designed to overcome regulatory
barriers, motivate and reward top environmental performers,
encourage pollution prevention, and reduce costs.

Environmental Technologies |
|
|
|
| Environmental Technologies are
critical as we seek new ways to effectively and economically
treat, reduce, and prevent pollution. The Center
for Environmental Industry and Technology (CEIT)
was established by EPA to promote the acceptance of
innovative environmental technologies for solving
environmental problems. CEIT offers solutions to environmental
problems through its Technology
Connection and Innovative
Technology Inventory. It also assists technology
developers in locating government funding and resources.
Visit CEIT’s website to learn more about
environmental technologies and access a range of
resources.
