P2 Tip - Calendars

Record keeping should be an integral part of any pollution prevention program. Use your calendar for record keeping, and use the records to identify where waste can be reduced or eliminated. More P2 information

Compliance calendars are currently available for six sectors. They can be used to keep records and log inspections, keep you up to date on regulations affecting your business, and provide great ideas for pollution prevention and waste reduction (and related cost savings).
