management practices, and the use of alternatives to toxic chemicals [26–29]. Many
environmental agencies, particularly the US Environmental Protection Agency, are
vanguard in the promotion of pollution prevention because of its cost-effectiveness
as against the cost of reducing pollutants that pose risk to the environment and
human health. Pollution prevention techniques and processes applicable to the
electrical and electronic industry can be, broadly, divided into process or equipment
modification, raw materials substitution or elimination, waste segregation (separation or preparation) and, finally, recycling. Technical glossary terms can be found
from the literature [30–33].
