Abstract
Regulations and other costly constraints affecting the handling and disposal of hazardous waste materials are becoming increasingly restrictive and costly. Hazardous waste has become one of the most critical problems facing our nation today. Fines and criminal charges against companies and individuals for noncompliance are increasing. Disposal sites are decreasing. Real costs can amount to 10 to 15 times the original purchase price for hazardous materials. Future prospects are that the problem will certainly grow worse. The naval shipyards have taken an aggressive approach to waste minimization. Using industrial-engineering techniques, the shipyards are implementing source reductions to reduce the quantities of hazardous generation as a by-product of their industrial processes. This paper discusses the problems associated with hazardous waste and describes a program to minimize the generation of this waste.
