More about the ETC
The Environmental Technology Centre (ETC) was founded in 2000 at the University of Nottingham, specifically to help small and medium sized businesses to make improvements through the adoption of more efficient use of resources, environmentally friendly working practises and the use of cleaner and more sustainable technologies.

Did you know?
The ETC helped Premier Foods save over £110,000 a year by reducing energy consumption at its site in Worksop, Nottinghamshire by just 5%.

These savings have resulted in an annual reduction of 1100 tonnes of CO2 emissions and the project was recently awarded the 2008 Innovation for Sustainability Lord Stafford Award, which encourages collaborative relationships between businesses and universities.
