Pollution prevention/source reduction assessments

Pollution prevention (P2) means reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques and re-using materials rather than putting them into the waste stream. KPPC can help identify P2 opportunities and connect your company to resources for areas such as chemical alternatives and materials re-use.  

Sustainable value stream mapping

Drive efficiency, reduce costs, and spur innovation by integrating sustainability into day-to-day manufacturing operations and new product development from a life cycle perspective. KPPC can help your company develop a sustainable value stream map (Sus-VSM) to help quantify energy, water, waste and material through each step of the production process.
