  There are significant amount of disposable wastes in paint industries which mostly are hazardouswastes. Problems such as high cost of wastes treatment, safe disposal, reducing and controlling theenvironmental pollutions caused the waste minimization be a super priority in these industries. Theaim of this paper was case study of waste minimization management system in a paint factory.According to above items, sources of wastes in the factory identified and waste minimization optionsincluding Source reduction, Recycling, Recovery and Reuse of wastes were suggested.The wastage of raw materials, water and power were also studied and management approaches wereadvised. Providing a flow diagram as waste minimization management system for paint industries isthe most important achievement of this paper. Performed researches in this study showed that using ofsuggested waste minimization options and approaches in the plant would reduce consumption of rawmaterials up to 0.15% ,power up to 12%,water up to 15% and waste generation up to 20%.Thesefindings equal to saving 175 million Ir.Rials per year in operational costs. Thus implementation ofwaste minimization methods and techniques in industries is a cost effective process which results bothenvironment benefit and factory owners. Manuscript profile
