Source Reduction Waste Minimization
There are five states in the U.S. that have taken the lead in the U.S. Government’s philosophy and concept of Source Reduction & Waste Minimization. The foundation for such a philosophy lies in the effort to prevent pollution prior to its occurrence, in other words, reducing pollution at the source. This mandate is not to be confused with the Source Reduction Documentation required under EPA’s Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 pursuant to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting program.
