Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention began as developments within the
environmental protection frameworks for various governments. Environmental
technologies are intimately linked with CP and P2. For example, many CP and P2
options involve recycling of materials within processes, or converting wastes to new
products. And CP and P2 cannot be implemented without also managing the wastes that
cannot be prevented. The environmental technologies and services industry is a very
important resource for such solutions. Many environmental engineers and consultants
have expanded their practices to cover CP and P2. Therefore this section provides
guidance to the environmental industry.
