In order to maximize business growth and avoid unforeseen costs, it is important to know ahead of time what potential environmental aspects must be considered for a new business venture or project. Planning ahead of time to meet required compliance objectives will reduce later expenses in retrofit or remediation, and limit potential legal costs for non-compliance.
Read MoreCorporations, and the environmental compliance professionals serving at or for them, need a variety of tools to manage the many varied and dynamic requirements of environmental regulations. Frequently, personnel (from operators to supervisors to engineers) are asked to manage compliance for regulations on which they have little to no formal training; while the demands of their main job tasks often does not allow sufficient time to effectively understand such complex environmental regulations.
Read MoreOne of the easiest ways to save operating costs is by managing waste streams properly from the start. This is true of everything from office wastes to process wastes. Regardless of whether a business growth venture or project involves a new facility or improvements to an existing operation, consideration of waste generation and its appropriate management should be included early on in the planning stages. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to consider the facility or process as a box.
