As the need for these processes grows, so grows the confusion regarding the selection and implementation of these new methods and materials. In the past, price and traditional procedure were the only criteria by which a material was procured. Speed and compliance with Original Equipment Manufacturer specification governed how things were done on the shop floor. With the advent of the environmental regulations, processes are being examined all across the globe. In many of the larger companies, the chief environmental officer has as important a role as the comptroller or Chief Financial Officer. Environmental managers are often not chemists or line painters, and typically, the environmental manager is skilled only in the policies of waste disposal, spill clean up, or remediation. The methods whereby a company can minimize the generation of hazardous waste remain less ...

As the need for these processes grows, so does the confusion regarding the selection and implementation of these new methods and materials. Historically, price and traditional procedure were the only criteria by which a material was procured. With the advent of environmental regulations, processes are being examined more closely worldwide. In many of the larger Mass Transit companies, the chief environmental officer has a very important role and must be skilled in the policies of waste disposal, spill clean up, or remediation. The methods whereby a company can minimize the generation of hazardous waste remain less known. This paper suggests methods for selection of alternative products and processes for hazardous waste minimization in a clear and organized manner. The focus is on procedures that will help in making sound decisions in choosing environmental strat...
