Description
Excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through its Office of Research and Development (EPA-ORD) has instituted the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program to verify the performance of innovative and improved technical solutions to problems that threaten human health or the environment. EPA created the ETV Program to substantially accelerate the entrance of new and improved environmental technologies into the domestic and international marketplaces. It is a voluntary, non-regulatory program. Its goal is to verify the environmental performance characteristics of commercial-ready technologies through the evaluation of objective and quality-assured data so that potential purchasers and permitters are provided with an independent and credible assessment of what they are buying and permitting.
