Mission

The mission of GEP is to leverage the financial and human resources of its members in order to deliver technical assistance that promotes the adoption of pollution prevention, energy efficiency, and environmental compliance throughout Georgia businesses. GEP seeks to avoid duplication of services and to provide seamless environmental assistance. By drawing on the strengths of each member, the resulting partnership is stronger than the sum of its parts.

Program

On-site Assessments
On-site assessments involve one or more visits by our engineers which focus on evaluating waste-generating processes, characterizing waste streams, and identifying economically viable pollution prevention options. All assistance provided to industry and information obtained during the course of assessments is confidential and only released with the permission of the client.

Byproduct Recovery
GEP assists commercial/industrial clients by seeking the highest-value uses for their byproducts. Mechanisms include recycling assistance through an intranet of 50 technical assistance providers, pilot projects to evaluate alternative uses for byproducts, and identifying new markets for recyclable and reusable materials.
Technology Deployment
GEP assists industry in becoming aware of new and emerging technologies, and opportunities for implementation. Objectives include identifying technology gaps, supporting technology research, and promoting the commercialization of those technologies, including involvement in pilot scale trials and demonstrations at industrial plants.
