A manufacturing process could create hazardous waste at several production stages, from raw materials handling to finished goods storage. If the objective of a pollution prevention audit engagement is to identify opportunities for minimizing waste, in what order should the following opportunities be considered?
I. Recycling and reuse.
II. Elimination at the source.
III. Energy conservation.
IV. Recovery as a usable product Treatment.
In the context of pollution prevention, the most effective approach is often elimination at the source, which involves modifying processes to reduce or eliminate waste production entirely. After elimination, recycling and reuse should be considered, as they prevent waste by turning it into usable materials again. The next step is recovery as a usable product, which involves processing waste to retrieve valuable components. Energy conservation can also play a role in minimizing waste indirectly by making manufacturing processes more efficient. Treatment and disposal are generally considered last resorts since they deal with waste only after it has been generated.
There is problem with this question. Only four options are given but in answer there are five options selected
It will still be in that order - Recovery as an usable product; Elimination at the source; Recycling and reuse; Energy conservation; Treatment and disposal
may i ask the basis for that order? why is it in the order of recovery then elimination, recycling, conservation and disposal ? thanks !
guys, can someone share some more practice material? this is my second attempt for part 2 exam, any help/ advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
There are many available materials - Wiley's Part 2 question bank, for example.
maybe it adds more confusion, on purpose
Is this exam better option than willey's
