  4. Supply Chain Issues in Pollution Prevention • Depletion of natural resources • Use and loss of resources by all suppliers • Distribution and transportation • Embedded energy and water in all feedstock materials • Core processes, supporting processes, infrastructure • Distribution and transportation • Customer use and loss of resources • Life time of the product • End of life of the product

  6. Goal of Zero Waste Throughout Life Cycle • “Zero Waste Products from Zero Waste Factories” • “The Goal is Zero – Zero Emissions, Zero Incidents, Zero Waste, and Zero Excuses!” • Zero Waste to Landfill • Selecting Materials With Lowest Embedded Energy/Water • Energy/Water Conservation and Efficiency • Value Stream Mapping – From Order to Delivery

  7. ZERO Waste and P2 are Hard Work • ISO 14001 – Control on Environmental Footprints • ISO 51001 – Draft Energy and Water Standard • ISO 14064 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions • ISO 14044 – Life Cycle Assessment Requirements • BS PAS 2050 – Embedded Energy and Water • ISO 31000 – Risk Management Standard • ANSI Sustainable Product Standards
