Hazardous waste minimization handbook

This book aims to help engineers and managers to reduce the costs and liabilities of waste disposal. Case studies show how the reduction of waste generation can be made cost-effective. There is also an examination of the actual waste treatment methods advocated. "This book, designed to assist industrial engineers and managers in making changes in purchasing, manufacturing, and waste handling practices to reduce the costs and liabilities of waste disposal, begins by defining waste minimization in the first two chapters. A description of the economic and regulatory incentives a company has for setting up a waste minimization program follows, and unsuccessful projects are related. Based on these experiences, a method is outlined for companies to use to establish a waste minimization program and implement individual projects."--Provided by publisher Content: Introduction - cost-benefit methods setting up a programme for waste minimization machining and metal working solvent cleaning and degreasing metal plating and surface finishing painting and coating removal of paint and coatings waste treatment to minimize disposal.
