Waste reduction
Source Reduction and Waste Minimization The best means to get rid of waste is to reduce the amount generated at the source Two concepts are recommended: The production of waste results in both loss of energy from the production process and loss of valuable resources; and Once the waste is produced, money, manpower, and additional materials must be spent to manage the waste
1. List out all hazardous wastes and check incompatibilities. 2. Communicate the information to all waste generators and handlers.
