Great Lakes Pollution Prevention Information Resources: Current Status and Future Recommendations

Regional Pollution Prevention Information Resources: A Planning Study is the title of this project, undertaken by the Hazardous Waste Research and Information Center (HWRIC), and supported by a planning grant from the Great Lakes Protection Fund (GLPF). This study was undertaken to: determine the extent to which pollution prevention (P2) information is being provided in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada; analyze the completeness of these information dissemination efforts, including the extent to which information clients' (especially industry) needs are being met; and recommend strategies to better meet those needs, as well as the resources necessary to implement the strategies. This study identified several broad ways in which P2 information providers can collaborate to better serve P2 information clients : improve information sharing among those providers; develop certain key materials; and collaborate to keep resources current.
