WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES

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.

Environmental managers, engineers, and scientists who have had experience with industrial and hazardous waste management problems have noted the need for a handbook series that is comprehensive in its scope, directly applicable to daily waste management problems of specific industries, and widely acceptable by practicing environmental professionals and educators. 

IE provides a foundation for sustainable industrialization, not just incremental improvement in environmental management. The objectives of IE suggest a potential for reindustrialization in economies that have lost major components of their industrial base. Specifically, the objective of industrial ecology is not merely to reduce pollution and waste as traditionally conceived, it is to reduce throughput of all kinds of materials and fuels, whether they leave a site as products, emissions, or waste.

Hungary was a transit country for illegal transportation of hazardous waste to East- and South-East-European countries. Up to very recently only 3% of total amount of 10 million tonnes of industrial waste was recycled. Sixty % of dump sites do not satisfy environmental protection specifications. Present waste management practice is also unacceptable.
