Pollution Prevention Awards
2010 Pollution Prevention (P2) Awards
The P2 Awards Ceremony was held on Thursday, April 22, 2010 at the Physics Auditorium. This year, the Laboratory recognized over 300 awardees for their efforts on 60 pollution prevention and cleanout projects.
The P2 awards are designed to recognize individuals or teams whose efforts over the past fiscal year have eliminated or minimized waste or pollution; conserved resources; procured green or environmentally-preferred products; applied sustainable design principles; or identified other ways to reduce risk, save money, and enhance the Laboratory's mission.
Highlights of the ceremony included the presentation of one DOE EStar award to the Radiological Laboratory/Utility/Office Building Integrated Planning, Design, Procurement and Construction project and NNSA awards for P2 "Best-in-Class" and "Stewardship" to the RCRA-less Actinide Oxidation,Electronics Recycling Program, and Alternative Fuels Implementation projects.
