Abstract |
This report presents the findings of an investigation into the application of environmental accounting practices in electroplating facilities. The research entailed on-site investigations and literature reviews. Environmental costs involved in electroplating operations are analyzed and issues to be considered in implementing environmental analysis in these operations are described. Many facilities are using environmental analysis without knowing or calling it that; most conventional costs associated with environmental management (wastewater treatment, hazardous waste disposal) are recognized and captured in new project or process evaluations. |
