Generous support from EPA, awarded in the summer of 2019, has enabled SBR to bring the best in class together, to create a program with tangible chemical reduction tools & solutions for SBR members and the wider WNY community.
Clean Production Action is the program’s Tool Provider (designing and delivering strategic solutions for green chemicals, sustainable materials and environmentally preferable products.) and NYS Pollution Prevention Institute is the program’s Problem solver (their team of engineers and sustainability specialists have firsthand experience of the challenges facing organizations like businesses, municipalities, and communities who want to become more sustainable.) CoRE & Niagara Share are the program’s Science Based Solutions providers. SBR is bringing the resources together so the companies get a complete support package – free of charge – that’s both unique and powerful. The program runs until spring 2021.
