Pollution prevention opportunity assessments for research and development laboratories
- Pacific Northwest National Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
This pollution prevention handbook presents proven tools and examples of ways to reduce waste generated by R and D processes, projects, and programs. It assists researchers, environmental compliance staff, and managers of R and D programs in private industry, government, and university research departments in identifying ways to reduce chemical and material use, minimize the generation of waste, and lower associated costs. The pollution prevention opportunity assessment method presented in this book provides a simple and systematic approach for finding pollution prevention opportunities, development them, and documenting these efforts. This method, coupled with a strong Pollution Prevention Program, has saved the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory $1.9 million in avoided waste-related costs over three years.
