Environment policy

Indeed a natural alliance of carbon free technologies - nuclear and renewables - needs to be more active in aligning energy and environment policies, such as advocating all-source regimes.

It may be useful to recall some facts concerning the environmental impact of plastics. Sustainability, pollution minimization, recycling and safe elimination of wastes are basic principles of environment policy. 

Klemmer et al. make the following conclusion Almost all studies reach the conclusion that enviromnent innovations are the result of a more complex than one-dimensional sample of effects, which is formed by both intrinsic motivations and also by state incentives, characterised by numerous feedbacks and is largely dependent on the overall social environment partly dictated by the design of the study, it is demonstrated using the example of selected sectors and/or groups of actors for the one part, and different environment policy problems for the other part, that there is no instrament to be favoured a priori or to be rejected generally and that only the interaction of individual motivations, political action and social enviromnent leads to environmental iimovations (multi-impulse hypothesis) (Klemmer ). 

They thus reach the following recommendations for action There is a broad consensus that it is not or not always the consistent application of individual in-straments, but rather their choice and application within a certain sample of regn-lations that are the deciding factors. As a sample of regnlations (referring to Janicke 1997) the sum of all calculable rules, procedures and action contexts in a subject area of state control is nnderstood this comprises the political-institutional context for action, the stractnie of instruments and the style of pohcy upheld in each case. According to these factors a snccessful, iimovation-orientated environment policy is characterised by a style of pohcy, which...

As a consequence, potentials for solving this conflict of interest between chemicals industry and environment policy are mainly seen in promoting new business models in which profits do not result from the quantity of chemicals sold, but rather from the services rendered by means of the chemicals. The term "Chemical Leasing" stands for such a service-oriented business model in...

As governmental bodies, the Ministries of Environment are the competent authority for the majority of activities related to environmental issues such as trans-boundary air and water pollution, troposphere ozone and climate change, for instance. The main task of a ministry on these issues is therefore to elaborate and implement the environment policy. As it is nearly everywhere within the Member States of the European Union, the ministries carry out only a few studies and analysis by themselves, but a lot of routine work is allocated to different administrations or institutions. This approach was not followed in some countries of the 10 and the research and international collaboration on different environmental programmes suffered for a... 

Policy the CER contains Elf Atochem s Safety and Environment Policy . In it is stated Elf Atochem aims to be at the forefront of the chemical industry in terms of environmental protection. 

Environmental expenditure in 1998 Elf Atochem allocated Eur 245 million towards implementing its Safety and Environment Policy in Europe. Of this figure 30% was for capital projects, 70% for operating, 60% was for safety and 40% for protecting the environment. 

Policy the health, safety and environment policy was issued in 1996 and is to be reviewed in 1999. It is accorded a full page within the document, and has the following main elements ... 

Policy The Corporate Safety, Health and Environment Policy which came into effect on 1 January 2000 is included in the CER.

Whereas the objectives and principles of the Community s environment policy, as set out in the European Community action programmes on the environment on the basis of the principles enshrined in Article 130r (1) and (2) of the EEC Treaty, aim in particular at preventing, reducing and as far as possible eliminating pollution and ensuring sound management of raw materials resources, on the basis also of the polluter pays principle ... 

Chromatographic analysis of major air components has been demonstrated for providing a powerful tool to be reliable, and even on-site and real-time data. Most of the time, the data is not meant only for the purpose of scientific researches but rather as a means to interpret targeted activities in the environment. Policy makers can thus reach their conclusions based on the interpretations and ask the general public or the manufacturers to comply with. In many cases, abmpt changes of major air components, for example, in groundwater, could be an early alert for natural disasters like volcanic eruptions. To save lives in advance has been an ultimate goal of such studies. More details about these applications are described below and listed in Table 6.4.
