Research Needs Workshop on Industrial Waste Minimization

最大限度地减少废物是进一步提高工业利润、效率和竞争力的重要手段。开发那些对工业生产率具有重大积极价值的技术，并承认其他废物最小化目标最好是通过传统的污染处理方法来实现，这是一个巨大的挑战。在地平线上(即使是今天)，很明显，只有当制造方法的量子跃升被采取时，进一步的浪费最小化才是可能的。因此，今天显然需要持续的、有重点的研究努力来实现这些重大改进。因此，建议举办一次密集的定向研究需求讲习班，以讨论和评估一个中心议题--“在工业废物最小化领域有哪些基本或创新的应用研究需求(包括实例)？”拟议的研究需求讲习班将主要由工业界的个人组成，作为主要群体，推测和批判性地评价制造过程中最大限度减少废物研究的性质。会议结束后，将编写一份执行摘要和一份报告，供对工业最大限度减少浪费的研究承诺感兴趣的个人和组织使用。

Waste minimization is a significant means to further increase the profit, efficiency and competitiveness of industry. It is a strong challenge to develop those techniques which will have significant positive value to industrial productivity and to admit that other waste minimization goals are best achieved with classical pollution treatment approaches. On the horizon (even today) it is clear that further waste minimization is possible only when quantum jumps in the approaches to manufacturing are taken. Thus sustained, focused research efforts are clearly needed today to achieve these major improvements. It is therefore proposed to conduct an intense, directed Research Needs Workshop to discuss and develop an assessment of a central topic - "What are there basic or innovative applied research needs (including examples) in the field of industrial waste minimization?" The proposed Research Needs Workshop would be composed mostly of individuals from industry as the primary group to speculate and critically evaluate the nature of waste minimization research for manufacturing processes. Following the meeting, an Executive Summary and a report will be prepared for use of individuals and organizations with interest in research commitments to waste minimization for industry.
