CPS TECHNOLOGIES RECOGNIZED FOR APPROACH IN REDUCING TOXICS.CPS Technologies, the worldwide leader in the design and production of metal matrix composites, was recognized recently as a Champion of Toxics Use Reduction Toxics use reduction is an approach to pollution prevention that targets and measures reductions in the upfront use of toxic materials. Toxics use reduction emphasizes the more preventive aspects of source reduction but, due to its emphasis on toxic chemical inputs, has been by the University of Massachusetts The system includes UMass Amherst, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth (affiliated with Cape Cod Community College), UMass Lowell, and the UMass Medical School.
