Minnesota Technical Assistance Program
 To help businesses select and implement systems that reduce pollution, maximize resource efficiency, and lower energy inputs, the University of Minnesota has developed the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP). Offering aid free of charge through funding from such organizations as the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, MnTAP provides assistance over the phone, through personal visits, or by student internships at the inquiring businesses,
bringing together past solutions or creating custom systems to meet a business’s needs. The program, also working to reduce overall waste, increase a company’s costeffectiveness and create a safer environment for workers, has been able to reduce businesses’ waste and emissions by 3.58 million pounds and lower material and disposal costs by $1.4 million, all within last year alone. |
