About Us

The Southwest Network for Zero Waste is a group of environmental professionals dedicated to finding money-saving options for conserving our natural resources. We are a collaborative project of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the University of Texas, and regional environmental agencies. Together we work to identify pollution prevention options for large and small businesses as well as consumers.

The Network began in March of 2003 the Southwestern Center of the national Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx). As part of a nationwide network we are able to provide you with high quality pollution prevention information.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to protecting the environment by helping companies become more efficient. We supply tools to reduce production costs by lowering environmental impact. It's a win-win, non-regulatory approach that benefits everyone.

Our Strategy

As a regional center we work to help innovative state/local pollution prevention programs share their strategies and successess. We also provide tools that environmental specialists can use to promote zero waste. We also provide assistance directly to facilities by showing them how they can save money by eliminating waste.
