Objective
To provide technical Pollution Prevention (P2) information and training to industrial service providers in EPA Region IV.

Organizational Structure
The Waste Reduction Resource Center (WRRC) is located with the N.C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance. Funding for WRRC is provided by EPA Regions III and IV and by many of the states in these regions. The WRRC has a staff of three full-time senior engineers, a director and an administrative assistant. 

Primary Service Area
EPA Region IV includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee.

Primary Clients
State, local and federal programs that provide P2 assistance to industry are WRRC's primary clients. Because technical assistance providers and the industries they serve have similar informational needs, our information clearinghouse is also highly useful to industrial users. Our resources and staff are available to users in industry, consulting and universities.
