Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization
Pollution prevention and waste minimization focus on reducing the waste streams created by facilities. Through “front-end” approaches, these programs commonly re-examine materials use, target inefficiencies and reduce the consumption of natural resources in production operations. Some programs even strive for closed-loop production cycles, from which no waste is generated. Safe management of hazardous waste is also a common element of these programs.
Development and effective implementation of pollution prevention and waste minimization programs can help organizations achieve environmental objectives and cut costs, and can build the foundation for sustainable development. EI has outstanding qualifications to help capitalize on these opportunities. Our team has assisted diverse businesses, federal and state agencies, and educational institutions in developing pollution prevention and waste minimization plans, and managing hazardous materials. EI also has conducted programmatic reviews of pollution prevention initiatives from across the United States.
EI's assistance to clients in pollution prevention is informed by an uncommon depth of experience developing centralized operational management systems. Through the implementation of best management practices, EI helps organizations out-perform environmental standards while cutting costs in the process.
