Industrial Waste Management – Concept and Aspects
from:Introduction
The massive pace of industrialization and advanced commercial activity over the last few years has transformed the way growth and development influences mankind.
Along with the vast series of benefits, such high scales of growth have brought along with it a series of fallouts and environmental hazards, posing a major challenge of management of the same for authorities as well the common man.
Key Aspects
The massive increase in the quantity of industrial waste being generated is one of the most prominent instances of the negative impacts of growth and development all over the globe. The subject of industrial waste management has attracted a great amount of study and research activities in an attempt to look for the right amount of solutions and remedies.
Industrial waste management basically revolves around the identification, analysis and processing of industrial waste in order to achieve the objectives of maximum utilization and conservation of resources, along with harnessing the opportunities to salvage, reuse and recycle the constituents of industrial waste.
The practice of industrial waste management is extremely important in the wake of the fact that industrial waste is a major component of the waste stream. The key objective of industrial waste management is to practice a series of waste reduction techniques in an industrial setting. The most important practice in this aspect includes the waste minimization techniques such as source reduction techniques, recycling techniques, waste auditing and the practice of newly developed techniques such as cleaner production.
To begin with, the process of waste minimization includes any techniques followed for source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a waste generator. Such activity results in a reduction of waste produced along with a reduction in the toxicity of the waste.
One of the most important techniques as a part of this process in order to ensure effective industrial waste management includes the source reduction techniques. This step is basically carried out by changing the composition of the product to reduce the amount of waste that might result from the use of the products, along with reducing or eliminating hazardous materials that might be entering in the production process.
Meanwhile, as a part of this process for industrial waste management, the solution providers often attempt to return the waste material to the original process, use the waste material as a raw material substitute, process waste material for resource recovery or as a by-product and many more.
Similarly, waste auditing defines sources, quantities and types of waste generated along with identifying where, when and how the wastes are produced along with establishing concrete targets and priorities for waste reduction.
