Tools waste management

The Pollution Prevention Act of 199027 requires facilities to report information about the management of Toxic Relief Inventory (TRI) chemicals in waste and efforts made to eliminate or reduce those quantities. The data summarized in Table 3.38 cover a four-year period and is meant to provide a basic understanding of the quantities of waste handled by the industry, the methods typically used to manage this waste, and recent trends in these methods.1 TRI waste management data can be used to assess trends in source reduction within individual industries and facilities, and for specific TRI chemicals. This information could then be used as a tool in identifying opportunities for pollution prevention compliance assistance activities. 

Especially in the case of solid substances, waste management is responsible for the clean-up of the technosphere, i.e. collection and disposal of the chemical in question. With respect to hazardous compounds in used goods, tools have been developed to phase out these goods for special recycling procedures or safe disposal.

On recommending membrane processes as modern and effective tools which may be successfully applied in waste management technologies, we must not neglect many serious limits pertaining to the transition of membrane methods from their well-established application range to the one proposed here. It is not easy to arbitrate which of the difficulties encountered in this connection rank first. To begin with, let us consider those associated with the essence and the structure of membrane. 

Although the effort to follow and respect the directives and regulations of EU (European Parliament and Council. 2008, Council of the European Union. 1999) and The Waste Management Plan of the Czech Republic (Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic. 2003) the most common way of waste treatment is the waste disposal. Almost 80% of the waste production is disposal to the landfills which is above average of the EU countries (46%). Waste disposal at the low level of respecting the environmental standards represents very often the threat for the human health, property and environment. It is necessary for the competent and responsible stakeholders to create conditions for a rigorous application of the hierarchy of waste disposal and the tools of The State Environmental Politics (Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic, 2004) in the area of waste management.

Use of life-cycle assessment techniques to analyze material choices, processes, and waste disposal continues to increase. Some countries in Europe require life-cycle analysis before products are introduced. The U.S. EPA and the Department of Energy have jointly sponsored research to develop the tools and information needed for life-cycle analysis-based decisions about solid waste management strategies. The results of this project have already undergone peer review by experts, and are scheduled to be released in 2000. This study includes both economic and environmental aspects, and will have relevance internationally as well as in the United States. ...

Hafey stresses that in the processes of mapping operations as they are and mapping operations as they should be to reduce waste, safety must be an integral consideration. He defines lean safety as the application of both lean tools and management philosophy to create a continuous improvement safety culture. The need for an organization s culture to consider safety as a value to achieve a world-class performance level is emphasized. Hafey writes ...
