AN ADVICE centre to help companies clean up their act has opened on Teesside.
The Clean Environmental Management Centre was established by Teesside University to allow firms to get actively involved in the environment.
Headed by Gareth Kane, it provides clean technology advice and solutions to environmental problems.
The centre, which is supported by a £150,000 grant from the European Regional Development Fund, undertakes projects such as investigating the use of heat as a renewable energy source.
Mr Kane said: "We are trying to help avoid pollution before it occurs. This not only has an environmental impact, but can also reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of businesses in the region."
