This quarterly journal discusses source reduction and waste minimization, focusing on the tactics, techniques, and answers for solving pollution problems before they begin. Specialists from corporations, universities, industry, government, and leading consulting firms discuss such topics as: conducting a waste audit and setting priorities for source reduction; incorporating the human factor: how to get employees involved in pollution prevention; redesigning products and packages to eliminate waste; and taking advantage of economic incentives for pollution prevention.

Regular columnists present industry-specific case studies and reports of recent regulatory activity on the federal and state level.
