- Solid waste of the factory should be disposed off in a safe way by throwing it into the designated landfill site.
- For minimum emissions from a chimney or up to the allowable
limits, a chimney is made according to scientific prescriptions so that whatever emits from it during or after the manufacturing process must be within its limited level. - Moreover, the quality of machinery and equipment which is used for manufacturing should also be well-maintained and its regular maintenance and repair should be done to help them limit the emissions from production.
