Course Overview
Green Manufacturing and Scheduled Wastes Minimization Training Towards Cleaner Production, Legal Compliance and Cost Saving
This training enhances the audience understanding on environmental awareness through the concept of environmental pollution from the perspective of toxic waste management. Scheduled wastes are very toxic and dangerous to the environment as well as to human health. Improper waste management will result in classification as a ‘non-compliances’ or an illegal dumping case.
This Green Manufacturing Training enhances the audience understanding on environmental awareness through the concept of environmental pollution from the perspective of toxic waste management.
The term “green” manufacturing can be looked at in two ways: the manufacturing of “green” products, particularly those used in renewable energy systems and clean technology equipment of all kinds, and the “greening” of manufacturing — reducing pollution and waste by minimizing natural resource use, recycling and reusing what was considered waste, and reducing emissions.
Growing numbers of businesses are finding that reducing resource use, waste, and pollution, along with recycling and reusing what was formerly looked at as waste, yields benefits not only in terms of an improved bottom line, but in terms of employee motivation, morale, and public relations.
Corporate and business leaders at the forefront of redesigning, restructuring, re-engineering, and retooling operations and processes to be more environmentally and socially sustainable are finding that doing so produces measurable results that others can and would like to emulate, even leading to new business lines and a notable recognition for their efforts.
Cleaner production is the continuous application of an integrated preventive environmental strategy applied to processes, products, and services to increase eco-efficiency and reduce risks for humans and the environment.
Analysing environmental management systems implemented on the basis of cleaner production (CP) projects demonstrates, that CP supplies management and employees with systematic tools to decrease the environmental impact and at the same time CP saves costs from inefficient use of materials and energy and motivates the organization as well by creating awareness throughout the enterprise. Such CP management strategies are heading for:
Productivity of materials
Energy efficiency
Material flow management
Preventive environmental protection
Sustainable use of natural capital
Service orientation
Legal compliance to Scheduled Wastes Regulations 2005
Participants will gain a better understanding on Scheduled Wastes Regulations 2005, special management of scheduled waste and classification transportation and disposal of scheduled wastes. Companies should take this opportunity to clarify any issues through the training session.
By the end of this training, all participants shall be able to assess, practice and recommend improvement on the overall Scheduled wastes Minimization through CP projectst in their workplace with full confidence.
