Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has funded a pilot project to assist small- and medium-size manufacturers who want to minimize their generation of hazardous waste but who lack the expertise to do so. aste Minimization Assessment Centers (WMACs) were established at selected universities and procedures were adapted from the EPA Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual (EPA/625/7-88/003, July 1988). he WMAC team at Colorado State University performed an assessment at a plant that manufactures commercial ice machines and ice storage bins. he surface treatment of fabricated steel parts, parts washing, and treatment of wastewater generate the majority of this plant's waste. he team's report, detailing findings and recommendations, indicated that the greatest waste reduction would result from reusing rinse water in the plant's five-stage washer for fabricated parts. This Research Brief was developed by the principal investigators and EPA's Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH, to announce key findings of an ongoing research project that is fully documented in a separate report of the same title available from the authors.
