NJTAP identifies pollution prevention opportunities at New Jersey companies. In addition, a technical library of greater than one thousand articles and reports in approximately seventy sub-categories of pollution prevention has been developed to aid in the answering of enviromnmental questions.

Alliances have been formed with sewerage authorities such as the Bergen County Utilities Authority and the Linden-Roselle Sewerage Authority for the development of curricula to train publicly owned treatment works personnel in pollution prevention techniques. In addition, NJTAP personnel together with industrial pretreatment coordinators have educated businesses about pollution prevention and its relationship to industrial pretreatment.
