4. Pollution prevention is an integral component of waste management practices.

What are some pollution prevention techniques?

The technological age gave way to better quality of service and product hence
improving the productivity of the world in general. However, majority of these
developments have impacted the environment negatively. In fact, there are over “2
billion tons of solid waste are generated by various institutions around the
world” (Thompson, 2021). Such disposal have caused humans catastrophic events,
so most of today’s organization adopted rules implemented by most government
around the world with emphasis on proliferating the environment and ecosystem.

Here are some practices done today:

• Converting waste energy
The idea of energy conversion is present ever since, and some organizations
have embraced the waste or available energy into usable electricity in
powering their workplace. One example would be the Energy Development
Corporation in the Philippines, the leading global geothermal energy company
in Pasig City.
• Green Infrastructures
These are buildings that follows a design that is non-destructive and
promotional to majority of environmental landscapes of the location. In the
Philippines, green roof and water management are adopted by some
government office buildings near Quezon City.
• Avoidance of polluting substances
• Dodging of activities that produce contaminated water
