Preventing waste is unquestionably the best option for environmental protection. The recycling and reuse of by-products on-site comes close to this ideal. This approach has been enforced by recent EC regulations relating to the eco-management and audit scheme which states,"The objectives and principles of the community's environmental policy are, in particular, to prevent, reduce and as far as possible eliminate pollution, particularly at source on the basis of the polluter pays principle, to ensure sound management of resources and to use clean or cleaner technology."
