Welcome to Environment@RTP

Protecting the Environment

Environment@rtp is a committee created by the companies within the Research Triangle Park to share best practices and coordinate action to manage environmental issues. Our mission is to ensure a cleaner environment by working together, and the committee takes a comprehensive approach to management of air, water, waste and wildlife habitat in RTP. Preservation of green open space has always been a priority in the planning and development of the Park, which combined with the efforts of the surrounding municipalities has helped make the Triangle one of the country's most desirable places to live.

A Coordinated Response

Environment@rtp enables the companies located within The Research Triangle Park to work together to manage resources and meet regulations. We facilitate interaction with city and county officials in the Triangle for water resources planning for future development and in times of drought. We also work to help companies prepare for emission regulations and waste management, and electronics recycling services are provided to employees of Park companies. Please contact the Director of @rtp programs to be added to the Environment@rtp contact list. We encourage all companies in RTP to participate.

Sharing Best Practices

Environment@rtp provides a forum for companies to share best practices. We typically host several lunch and learn meetings each year at the RTP Headquarters building and on-site. These meetings cover such diverse topics as water conservation measures, solar power systems, LEED-certified buildings and regional habitat conservation. If your company has built environmentally-friendly features or plans to implement sustainable practices, we encourage you to share them with other companies through Environment@rtp.
