Eco-efficiency Opportunities Fact Sheets

The Eco-Efficiency Program for Manufacturers (E2PM) was created to help small- to medium-sized enterprises, manufacturers and processors in Nova Scotia identify eco-efficiency and pollution prevention opportunities. Site visits to local businesses were conducted by the Eco-Efficiency Centre staff and consultants and recommendations were made on the available opportunities.

Here are the top five most common recommendations made to businesses over the course of the program:

• Lighting Opportunities
• Waste Heat Opportunities
• Operational Electrical Changes
• Increasing Boiler Efficiency
• Minimizing Water Loss
