Abstract

Recently, pollution prevention directs attention towards the elimination or reduction of undesired by- products within the production process itself before treatment. On the long term, pollution prevention through waste minimization and cleaner production is more cost-effective and environmentally sound than traditional pollution control methods.
The objective of this work was to carry out a feasibility study to define and implement an integrated pollution prevention and control measure in order to minimize waste and therefore to achieve compliance with the Romanian Environmental law.
