In a recent policy statements EPA suggested the following hierarchy for management of wastes:

In plant practices that reduce, avoid or eliminate the generation of hazardous waste as to reduce risks to health and the environment. Actions taken away from the waste generating activity, including waste recycling or treatment of wastes after they are generated, are not considered waste reduction. Also, an action that merely concentrates t hazardous content of a waste to reduce waste volume or dilutes it to reduce degree hazard, is not considered waste reductions

The somewhat broader term pollution prevention has an evolving definition that includes:

* Identifying and estimating all releases

Hazardous Waste Management. Michael D. LaGrega, Phillip L. Buckingham Jeffrey C. Evans

4. Experience does not exist yet to show clearly how best to proceed.

* Minimize concentration of metal in plating bath

Incineration systems are designed to destroy only organic components of waste; however most hazardous waste is non-exclusive in its content and therefore will contain both combustible organics and non-combustible inorganics. By destroying the organ Erection and converting it to carbon dioxide and water vapor, incineration reduces the waste volume, and to the extent that the organic components include toxic component n@ threat to the environment.
