to undertake a study entitled, “Toxic Wastes and Race in the United States”. This seminal study analyzed the connection between the placement of waste sites and race in the country. It found race to be the most confounding determinant in siting hazardous waste facilities in certain communities. Furthermore, the study

have on the environmental. The waste that has impact on the environment is: bad use of material, people management, inadequate process design, inefficient production etc. In this essay I will further elaborate what Lean synchronization is and how companies reduced their environmental impact on their products; I will also be illustrating this further by using two

the United States. The northern Mexican border experienced an intense industrial development since 1965, with the introduction of the Border Industrialization Program by the federal Mexican government. Thousands of maquiladoras, which import raw materials or component parts duty free and then export the finished product to the country of origin, were established. By the end of the year 2000, there were 3703 maquiladoras along the border (Contreras, 2007), 119 of them located in Matamoros. Source Maquiladoras

used in the chemical or oil industries to purify and upgrade various feeds and to improve process efficiency, commonly consisting of metals supported on porous materials like alumina or silica. During operations, these catalysts deactivate with its periodical use [1], through structural changes, poisoning, or the deposition of external materials, and are sent to on-site or off-site regeneration plants. However, the regeneration of spent catalysts is only possible in a limited number of catalytic systems

farmer and sheep grazer Orrin Hagen in 1970. Prior to the late 1950s the site was used as an excavation pit for sand and gravel. The quarry was subsequently used for the disposal of waste materials from 1950 until 1966. 10 acres of the 28-acre site has been used as a disposal area for several hazardous waste contaminants that included volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, vinyl chloride and xylene; other organics such as phenols and PCBs as well as lead
