Industry Matching Grants
TURI's Industry Cleaner Technology Matching Grant and Demonstration Site program has provided funding, technical support, and technology dissemination for industries implementing innovative toxics use reduction technologies since 1996. In that time 35 companies have received over $400,000 from TURI. Grantees provide opportunities for their industry peers to see the technology up close, learn about associated management methods, and discover new opportunities to further reduce the use of toxic chemicals at their own facilities.

This year the Institute is focusing its support on companies implementing specific energy conservation technologies including:
- Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, Marlborough, who has implemented numerous energy saving modifications to building design and operation, as well as finding opportunities for reduced energy demand associated with a new green chemistry approach to a specific product synthesis process
- Silver Hanger Cleaners, Bellingham, who is committed to converting its dry cleaning operation to dedicated wet cleaning technology.
1999 the Institute included matching grant support for industries developing and improving their Environmental Management Systems as part of their overall toxics use reduction strategy. You can link to our EMS page to learn more about these matching grant projects.
The 2008 EMS Peer Mentoring Work Group host is Gentex Optics, Dudley. Gentex will be modifying its existing ISO 18001 certified EMS to satisfy the requirements of the new TURA EMS planning alternative.
