As population increases and per capita consumption rises, secondary effects in the form of pollutants, which originate from the production of goods and services, have become increasingly evident. More of the nation's energies are required to bring about the proper management and utilization of these pollutants. Until recently, most pollutants were considered something to be disposed of at minimum or no cost. Further analysis has revealed that they are to a large extent “misplaced resources.” Many can be utilized, thus reducing the cost of waste management and the use of virgin materials.
