Product Description
Green Profits covers two tightly connected topics, environmental management systems (EMS) and pollution prevention (P2), in a single volume. Authored by an environmental engineer and an economist/planner, Green Profits shows how to implement an EMS, especially ISO 14001, so that it leads to profitable pollution prevention innovations, and how to identify and implement pollution prevention measures in a sound strategic business framework. Green Profitsprovides the knowledge and tools for enterprise managers to achieve the benefits of both EMS and P2, and to do so in ways that fit in with existing management systems in their enterprises.

Environmental management systems are planned and organized ways for an enterprise to manage its interactions with the environment, in particular those interactions that consume resources, degrade the environment, and create human health risk. Part I of Green Profits provides a thorough and practical understanding of the elements of EMSs in general and ISO 14001 in particular, tools and techniques for implementing an EMS and achieving ISO 14001 certification, and help with getting the implementation process started.

Pollution prevention involves replacing process technologies that generate pollution with those that do not or that do so much less. It focuses on improving production processes to minimize waste rather than treating effluents or emissions, which add to costs. Part II of Green Profits provides tools such as step-by-step guides to conducting a P2 audit and energy and material balances for identifying P2 opportunities in an enterprise; examples of P2 practices in specific industry sectors; and a set of tools for assessing potential P2 investments from a bottom-line point of view.

Product Description
During the last century international trade has becomeindispensable for many economies. This is not only the case for tradein primary raw materials and consumer products but also for secondary(recyclable) materials. With the rapid growth of the recycling sectorworldwide, trade in recyclables increased tremendously. It is strikingthat most of this trade flows from developed to developing countries.This book addresses the main causes of this typical trade pattern andinvestigates its economic and environmental effects by carrying outcase studies on waste paper imports in India, waste plastics importsin China, and used-tyre trade in Europe. The book concludes byrecommending policies that are aimed at preventing negative economicand environmental effects potentially resulting from trade inrecyclables. The book offers new ideas to researchers who are involvedin international trade, material flows, and waste management, andprovides new insights for decision-makers who are interested in WTOand the Basel Convention. ...
