Waste management practices are not uniform among countries (developed and developing nations); regions (urban and rural area), and sectors (residential and industrial). It takes a lot of valuable energy and materials to create and manufacture products and the resulting industrial waste can be difficult to manage. People and companies need to educate themselves about the environment. Smog alerts in many cases result from not only harmful transportation emissions but also from the output of factories into the air we breathe. Environmental protection acts encourage and reward companies who do their part to more effectively manage waste and work with environmental agencies to maximize efforts to minimize the impact on the environment. Industrial waste producers need to pay for the disposal of their materials and in particular, need to take caution in the way they dispose of hazardous materials.
