How this tutorial will help environmental managers


Assessing the costs and benefits of pollution prevention options is important to ensuring
that pollution prevention initiatives result in the most cost-effective outcomes possible.
To provide a complete assessment of the potential benefits of a pollution prevention project,
it is critical that all the costs and less tangible items be identified and evaluated in a project
proposal. Pollution prevention improvements offer significant savings in areas of: regulatory
compliance, waste disposal and treatment, insurance premiums and other overlooked expenses.

Those who need to gain approval for pollution prevention projects must be prepared to perform the
following steps:

• Collecting cost information
• Applying measures of profitability
• Considering less tangible costs and benefits
• Presenting P2 projects to decision makers
