4. What Is Waste Minimization?
Waste minimization is the process and the policy of reducing
the amount of waste produced by a person or a society.
Waste minimization can be defined as "systematically
reducing waste at source". It means:
• Prevention and/or reduction of waste generated WM PROCESS
• Efficient use of raw materials and packaging
• Efficient use of fuel, electricity and water
• Improving the quality of waste generated to facilitate
recycling and/or reduce hazard
• Encouraging re-use, recycling and recovery.

12. How to Minimize Waste :
Waste can be minimized by looking at:
Inputs ------- (for example, energy and raw materials)
Processes ------- (controlling them and improving them)
Outputs ------- (for example, end products, solid waste, water and
effluent, waste raw materials, heat and energy losses)
A Waste Minimization Initiative should effectively manage all aspects of a
business’s waste.
13. What are the Benefits of Waste Minimization?
Minimizing waste will help the business to:
Keep waste disposal costs down.
Keep raw material costs down.
Comply with legislation.
Reduce impact on the environment.
Perhaps support other businesses – one business’s waste
may be another business’s resource.
