Green Technology and Green Remediation

The Green Technology Branch evaluates technologies that treat, recycle, clean up, eliminate, or reduce hazardous waste. The Green Technology Branch uses research and demonstration projects, data analysis, and performance evaluation to provide objective information on innovative environmental technologies. It also provides marketing and business outreach support to technologies with promise for providing environmental benefits.

Perchlorate Contamination Treatment Alternatives

The Perchlorate Contamination Treatment Alternatives Report describes treatment alternatives for perchlorate contamination that have been implemented full-scale, have been demonstrated or are being researched. The report is updated as new information becomes available.

Sustainable Bioplastics Project

Plastic is accumulating in the ocean at an alarming rate. DTSC's Sustainable Bioplastics Project is helping solve the ocean debris problem by researching alternatives to traditional plastics that will degrade in the ocean.
