Why is pollution prevention important?
Preventing pollution offers important benefits, as pollution never created avoids the need for expensive investments in waste management and cleanup. By anticipating the future, pollution prevention reduces both financial costs (waste management and cleanup) and real environmental costs (health problems and environmental damage). As a result, pollution prevention holds the exciting potential of protecting the environment and strengthening economic growth through more efficient production and natural resource use.
