Waste Minimization as a Strategic Weapon
Waste Minimization as a Strategic Weapon provides guidance on how to design, implement, evaluate, and maintain a waste minimization program. It describes how waste reduction programs can be successfully coordinated into company procedures, while simultaneously improving that company’s bottom line. It illustrates how to set goals and metrics for a waste minimization program, how to determine the progress of such a program, and how to calculate the true costs of environmental compliance. The underlying assumption is that waste is a manageable resource, and can therefore be turned into profit when managed appropriately. This comprehensive new book ties together the various systems, listed below, into a cohesive waste minimization program called Environmental Resources Management (ERM).

Used this book as a means of changing our company culture. Helped reduce not just environmental waste but business waste as well. Basic thoughts about engineering, manufacturing and support functions caused dramatic improvements. Highly recommend it for business cost improvements. Simple, effective advice.

The subjects discussed are done in a clear and easy to follow style. They allow any size organization to get an effective environmental program as well a business waste reduction, i.e. scrap, rework, energy, labor etc. program. Great how-to book for an executive for any type of business. I like the author’s style and look forward to reading more by him.
