UMD EFC’s Sustainable Breweries Project provides no-cost technical assistance and sustainability consulting for craft breweries in Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania. Supported by a US EPA Pollution Prevention grant, the project aims to help breweries adopt sustainability practices, reduce pollution, and save money.
The Sustainable Breweries Project works with breweries to identify opportunities to implement cost-efficient strategies to reduce water, energy, and hazardous chemicals used in their operations. Project staff help breweries utilize benchmarking tools and checklists and provide recommendations for practices that increase breweries’ operational efficiencies, reduce waste generation, improve worker safety, and reduce business costs.
Project partners include the New England Sustainable Craft Beverage Program, the national Brewers Association, and others.
