Abstract
ABSTRACT
As the regulations governing the storage, treatment, and disposal of regulated waste become more stringent in an attempt to minimize any potential adverse effect of wastes on the environment, so have industries' approaches to minimizing its production and disposal of such waste. This paper will describe a case study in the use of 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform) and steps implemented in the reduction of wastes generated from using this commonly used solvent. This paper will review a specific case in the area of waste minimization that the world's largest telecommunications cable manufacture plant has implemented in order to reduce and minimize the generation of manufacturing by-products.
