Objective:
The purpose of this project is to speed the implementation of cost-effective pollution prevention (P2) technology to the lithographic printing industry in the Southwest Ohio area. It is a joint project of the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences, Inc. (IAMS) and the Printing Industries Association of Southern Ohio (PIASO). To promote acceptance and implementation of P2 technologies, IAMS proposes to: 1) perform onsite assessments of eight preexisting facilities to identify P2 opportunities; 2) create a manual containing best P2 practices and available resources; and 3) conduct a one-day training event jointly with PIASO. Speakers primarily will be representatives from local benchmark companies who will share their experiences.Supplemental Keywords:
