- Expensive and may only work in certain environments
- reduce, reuse, recycle
- Some goods only recyclable under special conditions or can be hazardous (e.g. e-waste in electronics)
- E-waste management:E.g. Dell cover costs to the recycling centre. These helps reduce the volume of waste in landfills, reduce raw materials needed for new products and make recycling convenient for the consumer

- Adoption of alternative lifestyles
- Develop alternative technology
- Using renewable sources reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- education, incentives & penalties
- Regulating or reducing pollutants released
- Measures for extracting pollutant from waste emissions
- Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) control emissions of SO2 from coal & oil power stations
- The treatment (FGT) remove pollutants from waste incinerators. However they're expensive and difficult to enforce every source of pollution.
- Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) control emissions of SO2 from coal & oil power stations
- Measures for extracting pollutant from waste emissions
- Cleaning up and restoring the ecosystem after pollution has occurred
- Replanting and restocking with animal populations
- Expensive in terms of labour, time & money)
- Bacteria take time to break down pollutants before recovery through 2nd succession (takes longer in cold conditions).
