Annual P2 Conference and Trade Show
The Partners organize an Annual Pollution Prevention Conference and Trade Show which provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about cutting edge P2 topics.
Quarterly Meetings
The Partners hold quarterly meetings with speakers on topics varying from updates on IDEM regulations to pollution prevention success stories. If you have P2 success stories or other information you would like to share with the Partners, or if you would like your facility to host a meeting, please contact IDEM's Office of Pollution Prevention and Technical Assistance at 800-988-7901 or 317-233-6662.
Voluntary P2 Efforts
The Partners are also leading the way for voluntary pollution prevention efforts in Indiana. By completing the annual pollution prevention recertification, members share P2 success stories and data. These successes are promoted by the Partners and IDEM through a variety of outreach efforts to encourage Indiana companies to consider the benefits of pollution prevention.

Indiana Partners for Pollution Prevention Committees:
- The Partners Executive Committee plans and organizes the quarterly meetings, oversees activities and spending by other committees, develops initiatives, and reviews the Annual P2 Recertification submitted by each member.
- The Partners Membership Committee maintains current membership, determines eligibility of applicants, ensures Partners are meeting the pledge requirements, plans membership drive activities, and solicits membership through the Partners booth at various conferences and other activities.
