The Environmental Protection Agency has funding available in grant aid under Phase 6 of the Cleaner Greener Production Programme (CGPP6) and the EPA National Waste Prevention Programme (NWPP) to assist organisations to become cleaner and greener.
If your organisation wants to improve its environmental performance, profits, efficiency and public image, then the CGPP is for you.
The aim of the CGPP is to encourage better business practices, helping to reduce the consumption of resources and minimise environmental burden through process and product innovation. This provides a win-win solution as organisations become more economically and environmentally sustainable.
