Section 2 - General Waste Reduction Practices
2.3 GOOD OPERATING PRACTICES
Good operating practices, a subset of pollution prevention methods,
are organizational and procedural activities that reduce the generation
of waste. Generally, these are not equipment oriented methods
of waste reduction, although the implementation of some good operating
practices can result in significant capital expenditures when
implemented plant-wide. Many of the good operating practices identified
will provide product quality improvements and operating cost reductions
in addition to reducing waste generation. Also, they will generally
improve the working environment of a shop, including health and
safety aspects.
