Environmental laws and regulations are extremely complex and difficult to understand. In order to comply with them, they need to be explained in layperson's terms. This handbook identifies many changes in regulations and recommends ways to apply and implement them. Containing the latest environmental information, this volume goes beyond environmental regulations in two fundamental aspects: sustainability and preparation for future requirements before mandates are enacted. Structured as a "step-by-step how-to" book, readers will find real-life examples for the most important aspects of evaluating sustainability initiatives and preparing for new and revised environmental regulations.

Features:

• Explores all sustainability related concepts and regulations and the requirement of any control permits available up to date
• Answers in depth all practical questions that arise when working on compliance projects for future requirements
• Addresses a wider spectrum of sustainability issues that go beyond chemical-based contamination and environmental regulations and examines the impacts of climate change
• Includes many real-life examples and case studies from industry and institutions that comply with sustainability regulations
• It is global in coverage and very useful to companies that plan to expand operations outside their country and are interested in future regulations
