A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
The success of any waste minimization program is dependent on the users of chemicals. It is imperative that members of the University community are aware of the hazards and disposal costs for the material they purchase and seeking to minimize the waste they are generating.
1) Seek a solid commitment from upper management to support a waste minimization
program.
2) Evaluate your current waste minimization efforts.
3) Determine potential innovations to reduce waste.
4) Set goals – both short and long term.
5) Train and supervise employees to properly implement waste minimization
techniques.
6) Continue to review and revise your waste minimization plan to maintain relevance
and enthusiasm.
