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.

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.
