The Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 awarded a $350,000 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Pollution Prevention Grants Program (CFDA 66.708). The grant will provide technical assistance to small brewery businesses in Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania to help them adopt source reduction practices that improve environmental outcomes while reducing costs. Specifically, the University will refine a pollution prevention benchmarking and assessment tool, train 30 breweries, develop guidance for beverage manufacturers finalizing capital upgrades, and share best practices. Outcomes will include two case studies demonstrating source reduction. The grant aims to benefit underserved communities by providing direct assistance to breweries located within them. Technical assistance delivered under this award aligns with the Pollution Prevention Grants Program's goal of helping businesses adopt source reduction techniques through information, training, and tools.
