Pollution Prevention and Recycling
One definition of Pollution Prevention is: "The use of processes, practices, materials, products or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste, and reduce overall risk to human health or the environment." Industrial ecology is also a closely related area.
Control of air and water pollution are covered in other categories of Science/Environment.
