What are the Challenges in Implementing Waste Minimization?
While the potential is significant, several challenges exist:
1. Economic Viability: The initial cost of implementing waste minimization techniques can be high. 2. Technical Barriers: Some technologies for waste minimization are still in the research and development phase and may not be ready for commercial use. 3. Regulatory Hurdles: There are often regulatory barriers that complicate the adoption of new waste minimization practices, particularly when it comes to the handling and disposal of nanomaterials.
