Pollution prevention pays – Why

• The cost of prevention is likely to be less than the cost of environmental clean-up

• Legal costs associated with defending regulatory action are usually high, fines can be substantial and a criminal prosecution could result
• The damage to reputation may be high

Typical areas of risk are:
