WMPP aims to minimize waste and pollution generation at the source, thereby preventing their release into the environment and reducing the need for costly treatment and disposal.

Pollution control focuses on treating and managing pollutants after they have been generated, while WMPP emphasizes preventing their generation in the first place.

DfE involves considering environmental impacts at every stage of a product's lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to use and disposal.

Material substitution involves replacing hazardous or toxic materials with safer alternatives that minimize the risk of pollution.

Cleaner Production Audits systematically evaluate a facility's operations to identify areas where waste and pollution can be reduced.

WMPP strategies typically lead to reduced regulatory compliance risks by minimizing waste and pollution generation.

LCA provides a comprehensive analysis of environmental impacts associated with a product or process, enabling informed decision-making and identification of improvement opportunities.

Process modification involves making changes to existing processes to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize pollution.

Employee involvement is crucial for successful WMPP implementation as it fosters a sense of ownership, promotes creativity, and ensures effective implementation of strategies.

Incineration involves burning waste, which can release harmful pollutants into the environment. It is not typically considered a waste minimization technique.

Industrial Symbiosis involves collaboration among industries to exchange waste and by-products as resources, thereby reducing waste generation and promoting resource efficiency.

End-of-pipe treatment focuses on treating pollutants after they have been generated, which is not a core principle of WMPP.

Good Housekeeping Practices involve implementing measures to maintain a clean and organized work environment, which can help reduce waste and pollution generation.

WMPP implementation typically leads to reduced regulatory compliance risks by minimizing waste and pollution generation.

Cleaner Production Technologies involve the development and implementation of innovative technologies to reduce waste and pollution, promote resource efficiency, and improve environmental performance.
