Waste Minimization

 

Although numerous techniques are available to correct the negative impacts of environmental disturbances, often the best approach consists of reducing the problems by minimizing the wastes that are destined to be returned to the environment. The activities included in such efforts are normally the following:

• Evaluate Treatment/Storage/Disposal alternatives, including:
  • High temperature thermal destruction in cement kilns
  • Biodegradation of non-halogenated organics
  • Raw material for other manufacturing processes
  • Waste-to-energy maximization
• Use waste management calculations to assess the environmental risk, potential impacts and liabilities of each alternative
• Utilize our unique experience in waste minimization and develop processes to truly recycle waste materials

• Transform legal "hot-potato" into reusable raw material

In recommending specific waste disposal strategies, it is necessary to:

• Assess environmental risks, potential impacts, and liabilities
• Develop a comprehensive waste stream profile system, specifically designed to meet your particular needs and requirements - based on waste compatibilities
• Arrange for shipment of waste materials to recycling and/or disposal facilities
• Assist with the reporting and compliance issues associated with the regulations promulgated by county, state, and federal agencies
