Champaign, IL : Waste Management and Research Center
Abstract
These instructional modules are based on the premise that sustained economic development is
dependent upon sustained protection ofthe environment. They also reflect the fact that preventing
waste is far more cost effective than managing the waste once it is generated. Pollution prevention
not only offers businesses a competitive opportunity, it is a natural extension of sound management
practices. Incorporating pollution prevention into business management and government regulation
will enhance longterm economic prosperity.published or submitted for publicatio
