Green product (used commercially) tax incentives???

Is there currently a tax incentive for Green products that are used commercially? 

 

 

I run a small start up ski wax company, called Green Ski Wax.

 

The benefit of the product is that it contains no petroleum or PFC (a very non-green chemical) like traditional ski waxes do.

 

Since the wax eventually gets rubbed off the ski and left on the hill, there is strong belief that these chemicals also seep into the water supply.

 

If there is a tax incentive for more resorts to use a Green product, I think the choice would be very easy.

 

Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Greenskiwax - sorry for misunderstanding. I'm not familiar with any such benefit, but perhaps another member can chime in.

GreenSkiWax, Have you seen Business.gov's resources on Environmental Grants, Loans, and Incentives? There are grants available for eligible green technology innovations. Message Edited by NicoleD on 01-11-2010 09:25 PM

I am not really looking for grants for myself... but rather looking to see if there is an incentive for other businesses to use my product, due to tax credit advantages.   Sort of like a kick back on your taxes for energy saving items like new windows... but instead for everyday use items that certain businesses might use.
