In an effort to improve efficiency within DOD, the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC), the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), the Army Environmental Center (AEC), Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) have combined resources to coordinate projects of mutual interest. One such project has been the development of a comprehensive information source of pollution prevention (P2) technologies used within DOD, academia, and private industry. The product of this effort is the Joint Services Pollution Prevention Opportunity Handbook.
The P2 Opportunity Handbook is a Joint Service tool for sharing pollution prevention information throughout DOD. Its purpose is to inform each service of P2 efforts that are being investigated and adopted, and to minimize duplicated efforts by sharing our lessons learned.
The Pollution Prevention Opportunity Handbook is representative of the DOD trend toward partnership and the goal to use increasingly scarce DOD dollars as efficiently as possible. With this vision in mind, the Joint Services have joined together to produce this valuable P2 and Compliance reference document that will benefit each of the services equally.
