Everything about Source reduction
Approach to pollution prevention
Source reduction is the activities designed to reduce the volume, mass, or toxicity of products throughout the life cycle. It includes the design and manufacture, use, and disposal of products with minimal toxic content, minimal material volume, and/or a longer useful life. Wikipedia →
