Pollution Prevention Act
Colorado · Public Health and Environment · §§ 25-16.5-101 to 25-16.5-111 · 13 sections
Overview
The act addresses the reduction of waste and pollution at its source, along with recycling and the recovery of materials that would otherwise be discarded. It creates an advisory board, supported by a committee, to guide state pollution prevention efforts, and establishes programs offering technical assistance to businesses and others seeking to reduce waste, alongside programs promoting economic development tied to recycling. Funding comes through dedicated fees and segregated funds reserved for these purposes, with an additional mechanism directing resources toward waste diversion in a designated region of the state.
