摘要：	Historically, shipyards have relied on hazardous waste landfills and treatment of hazardous waste to address the environmental solution after the point of the waste generation. This approach, commonly known as 'end of pipe' management, has been based on command and control regulations that rarely offered the shipyard positive incentives to reduce waste. This approach has been successful and has contributed to an overall improvement of our environment. Recently, however, the EPA and the rest of the nation have undergone a philosophical change in which environmental protection is increasingly viewed as an opportunity to prevent the generation of pollutants at the source (source generation). The advantage of this approach is that preventing pollution at its source help shipyards avoid many costs and potential liabilities associated with treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal. The EPA and the nation have designated pollution prevention as a top priority. This approach to environmental protection became a national policy when the President signed into law the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.
