This course incorporates a total quality management approach. The course provides managers with a way to identify environmental and economic goals for waste management and evaluate waste management choices. The instructor presents a method to search for prevention, recovery, and recycling alternatives for industrial-process wastes. He describes criteria to select appropriate treatment and disposal technology. Hands-on problem solving uses case studies that demonstrate the decision process applied to specific industrial wastes as driven by policy, regulation, and other change agents.
Examples show how different criteria result in different choices.
