AB  - “Lean and Green” assistance for businesses operating within the U.S.-Mexico Border region: A retrospect of recommendations adopted

Pollution Prevention (“P2”) Grants funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have supported on-site “Lean and Green” assistance to business and industry operating within the U.S.-Mexico border region. This assistance has focused on improving environmental and energy performance, reducing solid waste, and providing cost-savings to participating businesses.  Assistance has been provided across sectors with primary assistance provided to those classified under the broad categories of manufacturing, public schools, healthcare, and hospitality.
In recent years, the authors have collaborated with partners in an adjoining border state to expand access to similar services within a shared border ecosystem.  Assessment teams from both states have successfully assisted nine businesses in the region to effectively adopt improved “Lean and Green” strategies within their respective operational processes. 
This paper will present findings from strategies employed by participating business and industry partners, will provide a retrospect of recommendations adopted, will suggest Best Practices for engaging similar business and industry partners in future “Lean and Green” assistance, and will explore geographic business practices that may support and/or hinder adoption of identified strategies.
