Pollution Prevention (P2) promotes awareness about Sandia’s environmental impact and how to reduce the impact both internally to the workforce and externally to the public. These overlap when the workforce takes home the attitude of continuous improvement toward the environment.
Internal Communication
P2 communicates with the workforce through several internal publications, including a corporate daily news email, a dedicated Zero Waste website, training opportunities, delivering presentations to departments, and a department website.
P2 also sponsors booths at events and generates themed tips and information:
- Earth Day
- Take Your Kids to Work Day
- P2 Week (3rd week in September)
- America Recycles Day (Nov. 15)

External Outreach
P2 is an active member of the New Mexico Recycling Coalition (NMRC) and has presented at biannual Recycling Conferences.
