What is P2?

Eliminating or reducing waste or hazardous substances at the source before the point of generation. P2 examines all media:

Through the internship:

• Businesses gain an intern at minimal cost—a 25% match
   of the intern’s salary is required.
• Businesses save money & increase environmental
   performance.
• Students gain hands-on experience in an industrial setting.
• BCDES obtains data on successful P2 initiatives.
