Why is the Waste Hierarchy Important in Catalysis?
The waste hierarchy is a cornerstone of the WFD, prioritizing waste management practices to minimize environmental impact. In catalysis, this hierarchy emphasizes the importance of reducing waste at the source, followed by reusing, recycling, and recovering materials before resorting to disposal. This approach aligns with sustainable practices in the catalytic industry, promoting the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly catalytic processes.
