Description: Waste minimization is a waste-reducing strategy that focuses on what goes into a manufacturing process rather than on what comes out of it. Rethinking how raw materials (like chemicals) are purchased and used can result in reduced waste output and limit environmental cleanup problems that figure into a company's production costs. Here is the first book to outline a waste minimization plan for environmental and manufacturing managers in the form of a shared savings chemical supply program. Possibly one of the most exciting and effective waste minimization strategies currently in use, the shared savings strategy is detailed here step-by-step in workable blueprint form. The book is illustrated with case studies of successful implementations that demonstrate the strategy's effectiveness, difficulties, pitfalls, and bottom-line payoffs.
