DEQ is committed to preventing pollution through voluntary, statewide programs. We administer and manage the EcoBiz project with our partner the Pollution Prevention Resource Center. This project is made possible through the EPA's competitive pollution prevention grant program that focuses on measurable environmental benefits.
EcoBiz, short for Ecological Business, is a certification program that helps companies adopt eco-friendly practices to reduce waste. This project is funded through a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The EcoBiz program recognizes landscapers, auto body shops, and public agencies that achieve pollution prevention goals. To find a certified business, visit the Find an EcoBiz website.
EcoBiz also provides free technical and educational assistance to companies to reduce pollution. If your business is interested in getting certified, visit the EcoBiz website to find a checklist and register a visit from the EcoBiz team.
