Waste Minimization and Pollution Prevention

MRI can help your company reduce the volume of waste requiring treatment or disposal through pollution prevention studies. We conduct waste/product life-cycle assessments, which are used to develop environmentally safe processes by evaluating your facility's product/process from input of raw materials to final disposal of generated waste. These assessments reduce costs and improve efficiency by identifying opportunities to reduce raw materials, lower energy consumption, and minimize waste generation. Other pollution prevention studies that MRI can help your company with include:

• Recycling program development
• Source reduction
• Product substitution
• Other waste minimization techniques

Advantages of pollution prevention include:

• Improvement of your company's bottom line
• Improvement of your company's image
• Improvement in efficient use of raw materials and energy
• Possible improvement in product quality
• Improvement in working conditions
• Reduction in emissions
• Reduction in pollution abatement costs
