Overview
INFORM prides itself on more than three decades of identifying innovative technologies, practices and products that provide practical solutions to complex environmental and health-related problems. Through the 1970s and into the dawn of this millennium, INFORM’s work – published in more than 100 extensively-distributed, accessible, and groundbreaking reports – helped focus public, government and industry attention on emerging environmental issues, and identified practical, implementable measures to tackle them. Our reports, and the outreach and advocacy we spearheaded around them earned us widespread recognition and numerous awards.
More importantly, our efforts made a difference. INFORM had a national impact on key environmental issues, such as chemical hazard prevention, solid waste prevention/extended producer responsibility, and sustainable transportation. We’re making sure that our work will continue to effect change.
