Description:

Waste Minimization is a term that includes source reduction and recycling. Source reduction is defined as any activity that reduces or eliminates the generation of wastes at the source, usually within a process. Recycling is defined as the recovery and/or reuse of what would otherwise be a waste material. A waste minimization opportunity assessment is a procedure for surveying processes and identifying waste reduction possibilities. The manual provides a systematic framework that can be used to carry out a waste minimization opportunity assessment.
