Pollution Prevention (P2)
What is Pollution Prevention?
Like a water faucet that can be turned off thereby preventing water from pouring out, pollution prevention is the act of turning off the flow of waste before it enters the environment. Simply put, pollution prevention is doing things in your village like: "The Three R's": REDUCING the amount of things you purchase that will become waste, like detergent bottles and plastic shopping bags. REUSING the things you purchased before you throw it away, like juice jugs or water bottles. RECYCLING the things you purchase, like beverage cans and tires. Pollution Prevention starts with education Pollution Prevention education does not mean attending classes or seminars it could be as simple as just speaking with the people in your village and showing them alternative products that they can use. If people know that there are alternatives to disposable products and that the reusable products are cheaper in the long run then people will often switch to the reusable products. Compact fluorescent light bulbs, for example, last about 7 times longer than regular light bulbs and only use a quarter of the electricity. In many remote villages in Alaska where electricity is expensive, just

What is Pollution Prevention?
Pollution prevention means reducing or eliminating the creation of pollutants, solid wastes, or hazardous wastes at the source by using less hazardous materials or more efficient processes or practices. Pollution Prevention is the protection of resources through conservation, including increased efficiency in the use of raw materials, energy, water, or other resources. Pollution prevention (P2) is the highest step of the waste reduction hierarchy and occurs prior to the other steps of recycling, treatment, or disposal. P2 includes the source reduction practices of using fewer raw materials, substituting less hazardous raw materials, changing processes, reformulating products, redesigning products, and good housekeeping. P2 does not include pollution treatment or control, changing the media or the location affected by the pollution, or remediation. Off-site recycling is not pollution prevention, however, recycling industrial chemicals or other materials on-site and as part of the production process is considered source reduction and therefore is pollution prevention.

POLLUTION PREVENTION (P2), WASTE MINIMIZATION AND RECYCLING
Pollution Prevention/Source Reduction Pollution prevention means not generating waste in the first place by reducing, eliminating, or substituting it at the source. P2 focuses on source reduction and is the highest goal to strive for.
  • Practice “just in time” purchasing for chemicals. Buy only quantities of supplies that you will be able to use within 1-2 years. Avoid bulk-sized purchases – the money you save initially will be far outweighed by disposal costs and procedures at the end! Purchase and use non-hazardous (or less hazardous) alternative chemicals when possible. See Battelle’s list of possible substitutes for hazardous chemicals Require that future purchases of equipment include the disposal costs of old equipment that is being replaced. Find a supplier who can deliver small amounts of chemicals on short notice and who will accept unopened chemicals that are returned.
  • Waste Minimization
    Waste minimization includes recycling and other means to reduce the amount of waste that must be treated and/or disposed. Waste minimization addresses “end of pipe” reduction or reuse potential.

    Chemical swaps
    Finding a use for surplus opened containers of chemicals is a good way to avoid having to dispose of them as waste. In many cases, laboratories or other users may be able to use these chemicals even though they have a lower purity. In addition, outside organizations may be willing to accept waste streams from laboratories if they can economically recover the valuable constituents. (Note: waste transport is subject to state/local regulations.) Some things you can do to encourage chemical swaps/waste exchanges: Talk with other schools in your area to see if you can set up a simple exchange mechanism for school district. Consult the Merck Index to see what types of manufacturers in your area may be interested in your chemicals. For example, artisans may use metal salts for ceramic glazes; auto shops may be able to use distilled solvents for parts cleaning. This is most likely to happen with unused raw material that is properly labelled and in good condition.

    Previous Category Catalog Order Info As illustrated by the major shifts in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory agenda during the past few years, culminating in the passage of the Pollution Prevention Act by Congress in 1990, pollution prevention represents a major cornerstone in the nation's waste management agenda. This law mandates that our environmental policy be based in pollution prevention as its solid foundation. " Pollution prevention is the highest priority strategy under the nations integrated waste management hierarchy that includes: 1) prevention, 2) recycling, 3) treatment and 4) disposal or release. Under the Pollution Prevention Act, congress established a national policy stipulating the following:
    • Pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible.
    • Pollution that cannot be prevented should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible.

    Automobile Recycling Automobiles are an important part of our lives. They provide us mobility and have been instrumental in how our communities develop, where we work, and how we live. Many Michigan residents and businesses rely on the automobile manufacturing industry for their livelihood. When automobiles have outlived their usefulness, the majority (over 94%) are taken to scrap yards for reclamation of useable parts. What is left is shredded or compacted. This remaining material, consisting primarily of metals, is then recycled back into appliances, automobiles, and other products. Over 75% of each automobile is recovered this way. That still leaves over 3 million tons of material to be disposed of annually. Automobile Recycling Demonstration Project:
    In 1996, the State of Michigan received a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through its Jobs Through Recycling Program to look at ways to recover that waste. A study was undertaken by the Great Lakes Institute for Recycling Markets to see what materials could be recovered in the scrap yard setting (before shredding or compaction) that had potential market value. A number of materials were investigated with some promising results. Polyurethane seat foam, windshield glass and rubberized seals are a few materials that hold promise for being recycled. The final report for this project is available in pdf format. Please note that this report is over 140 pages if you choose to print it.

    Recycling/Solid Waste Assistance Part of P AD's mission is to provide technical assistance to businesses in Georgia on reducing, reusing, and recycling solid waste and to support market development activities that divert industrial solid waste streams from our landfills. Based on the solid waste surveys completed during FY 1997, P AD and the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) identified five significant non-residential waste streams. The five waste streams include food processing, municipal sludge, wood waste, textile and fibrous waste, and construction and demolition waste. Waste characterization assessments were conducted for each of these waste streams; P AD is using the findings and recommendations identified in the assessments to target waste reduction efforts for these waste streams and prioritize programs and activities. For far too many years the generation of waste materials by industries and manufacturers was assumed to be a natural and ordinary consequence of doing business. The costs associated with waste disposal were built into the budget and factored into the prices of goods sold. Not so today: "waste" is a resource to be recovered and reused in house, recycled, or sold to another industry as feedstock or alternative fuel. In the last few years the Internet has fostered the growth of business-to-business commerce in the buying, selling, and trading of excess materials and byproducts from manufacturing. There are hundreds of sites on the Web that facilitate materials exchanges, auctions, and swaps.
