EcoBiz Certification Program
PPRC provides on-the-ground technical assistance and outreach for the Oregon based, Eco-Logical Business Program. EcoBiz is an environmental certification that recognizes Oregon auto repair & body shops, carwashes, landscapers, and public agencies that adopt best practices and prevent pollution.
EcoBiz was founded by the Pollution Prevention Outreach (P2O) Team; a group that includes members from Oregon DEQ, City of Portland, City of Gresham, Clean Water Services, Clackamas County, Metro, and Washington County. Statewide, 100 automotive businesses, 25 landscapers, and 20 public agencies are EcoBiz certified.

Certified businesses receive publicity through printed advertising and other media coverage. EcoBiz certification allows a business to market its sustainable practices to its clientele.

EcoBiz certification for auto body shops not only promotes many multi-media ecological business practices, it helps body shops go above and beyond compliance with the new EPA air toxics rule and often saves them money on top of that!
