Waste minimization definition

Waste minimization means pollution prevention, beneficial use or reuse of a hazardous waste, and legitimate recov- ery or reclamation of a hazardous waste.

Waste minimization means any effort to reduce or recycle the quantity of waste generated and, when feasible, to reduce or eliminate toxicity. "Waste minimization" does not include treatment unless the treatment is part of the recycling process.

Waste minimization means any activity, process or measure undertaken for the purpose of reducing, reusing, recycling or recovering waste;

Waste minimization means waste minimization within the meaning of the regulations.

Waste minimization means the reduction, to the extent feasible, of waste that is generated or subsequently treated, stored or disposed of. It includes any source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a generator or facility operator that results in either (i) the reduction of total volume or quantity of waste, or (ii) the reduction of toxicity or other characteristics of hazardous waste, or both, so long as the reduction does not result in the displacement of pollutants from one medium to another and is consistent with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human health and the environment.
