Waste minimization definition

Waste minimization means pollution prevention, beneficial use or reuse of a hazardous waste, and legitimate recov- ery or reclamation of a hazardous waste.

Waste minimization means any effort to reduce or recycle the quantity of waste generated and, when feasible, to reduce or eliminate toxicity. "Waste minimization" does not include treatment unless the treatment is part of the recycling process.

Waste minimization means any practice that reduces the volume or toxicity of hazardous waste that has been generated.

Examples of Waste minimization in a sentence

• Waste minimization strategies are identified in the Waste Management Plan which includes material elimination, inventory control and management, material substitution, reduction in the consumption of natural resources, process modification, and improved housekeeping.

Waste minimization means preferred pollution control and waste management activities, other than industrial pollution prevention; and

Waste minimization means a practice that reduces the environmental or health hazards associated with hazardous wastes, pollutants, or contaminants. Examples may include reuse, recycling, neutralization, and detoxification.

Waste minimization means the reduction, to the extent feasible, of waste that is generated or subsequently treated, stored or disposed of. It includes any source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a generator or facility operator that results in either (i) the reduction of total volume or quantity of waste, or (ii) the reduction of toxicity or other characteristics of hazardous waste, or both, so long as the reduction does not result in the displacement of pollutants from one medium to another and is consistent with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human health and the environment.

Waste minimization means a practice that reduces the environmental or health hazards associated with hazardous wastes, pollutants, or contaminants. Examples may include reuse, recycling, neutralization, and detoxification. (Sec. 361.501, Health and Safety Code.)

Waste minimization means the establishment of practices in all stages of the production, processing and use of radioactive materials to minimize the quantity of waste generated, including its radioactivity.
