If you're a manager or engineer concerned about industrial pollution, this definitive guide will show you how to implement a Pollution Prevention (P2) environmental strategy for preventing pollution instead of just treating it.
You'll get a solid understanding of innovative technologies for preventing or reducing new waste streams by improving management practices ... making production processes more efficient ... replacing toxic materials in the production process ... and modifying products themselves. You'll learn how to reduce your reliance on end-of-the-pipe treatment.
Featuring contributions by more than 50 experts as well as numerous case studies, the book covers:
- Pollution prevention processes and technologies
- Industrial P2 program design and implementation
- Product and process design for P2
- Methods for assessing product life cycle impacts
- Examples of successful P2 programs
This essential guide also presents P2 techniques for 16 specific industries - including biotechnology, electronics, automotive components, foundries, power generation, metal fabrication, chemicals, petroleum refining, and textiles - plus a helpful listing of P2 organizations and information resources.
