I have begun to clean up this article which requires some careful analysis and wikification although I do not have time to complete at this stage. I have also added a picture of the waste hierarchy diagram. --Alex 08:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

the waste hierarchy diagram is copyrighted and it was listed for deletion. So I redrew it thinking that solving the mechanical copyright would be enough, but no it has been listed for deletion again. You can chip at Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images#August_17 How can I draw a waste pyramid and not make it like the original? They may make me change the colours, what colour scheme do you think it should be? - Drstuey 12:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waste minimisation vs. waste reduction

An expert needs to explain the difference between waste minimization and waste reduction. The second sentence says that waste minimisation "is part of the wider aim of waste reduction". This sounds silly, since the reduction of something is a weaker aim than minimisation. What's more, the article later talks mostly about waste reduction, and not minimisation. -Pgan002 22:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Handling of waste is not waste minimisation?

"Home composting ... can be considered waste minimisation. But other procedures that require the handling of waste, such as waste collected for recycling, while reducing the pressure on disposal facilities, do not reduce the amount of waste generated."

Why? Pgan002 00:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I second this. Nonesense!--Alex 10:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I have done some cleanup on this article, but I think that there is more to improve on. Zharradan.angelfire 07:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Environmental technology template

I'd like to replace the Environmental technology template with one that matches the standard navbox style, i.e. horizontal instead of vertical, collapsing and typically placed at the bottom of article pages. I've done a mock up of what this would look like at {{User:Jwanders/ET}}. Figured this was a big enough change that I should post before going ahead with it. Please discuss here--jwandersTalk 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
