Environmental Management in a French Automobile Sales and Repair Garage

Garage Maurice, established in Mulhouse in 1952, employs 21 people. Implementation of environmental protection measures began at the garage in 1992. The garage's sales and marketing manager had a personal interest in environmental issues, and the garage also became involved in environmental programmes launched by industry associations and state organisations in the region of Alsace.

In 1993 the garage premises underwent major renovations, during which, environmental protection and health and safety measures were implemented. For example, the garage has converted to the use of water-soluble paints, and has developed a system for dealing with waste oil. 100 per cent of waste oil is now recycled, and there has been a 90 per cent reduction in solvent atmospheric emissions.

ZERO WASTE STRATEGIES FOR URBAN AREAS IN SOUTH AFRICA
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Solid waste management in developing countries is characterised by highly inefficient waste collection practices, inadequate levels of service, limited resources, lack of environmental control systems, indiscriminate dumping, littering and scavenging and a poor environmental and waste awareness of the general public (Onu, 2000). South Africa, as other emerging countries, is striving towards meeting international standards by applying advanced concepts such as the waste hierarchy and zero waste to their environmental policies.
