This study is a survey of the performance of the hospital environment in the field of waste management. Survey was conducted in RS. Cipto Mangunkusumo, RS. Persahabatan and RSPI Sulianti Saroso. Environmental performance of the Hospital would be good if 1) has sufficient human resources, budget management and have good facilities and adequate environmental technologies 2) Environmental regulations adhered to apply quality standards.  The budget for the maintenance of waste management facilities and the recruitment of human resources outsourcing needs to be improved. Efforts to increase the motivation of the human resources environment also needs to be done in order to achieve predetermined performance targets

This chapter reviews and discusses the debate over the effectiveness of environmental regulation in promoting industrial Technological Environmental Innovation (TEI). Using the innovation-friendly regulatory principles adapted from Porter and van der Linde (1995a and 1995b), this chapter demonstrates how properly designed and implemented environmental regulation (TEI promoting regulation) has played a critical role in promoting TEI in the transport industry in California and Hong Kong. In both cases, it has been shown that stringent environmental regulations that send clear and strong signals for future environmental performance requirements are critical in promoting TEIs in the public transport industries. Unlike traditional command-and-control regulations, TEI promoting regulations are strongly supported by incentive and capability-enhancing measures.

Lifecycle Management

This article discusses the introduction and implementation of environmental regulations in manufacturing industry. Manufacturers are responding to customer demand for environmentally friendly products. Several vendors such as PTC and Siemens PLM Software make products that track environmental performance of products, parts, materials, and suppliers. Many products are integrated with a company’s supply chain and product development systems. IBM offers Environmental Product Lifecycle Management, which includes software and consulting services, and assists clients in analyzing every phase their product passes through to ensure environmental compliance. A number of lifecycle assessment software packages have been released in recent years to help designers. Sustainable Minds develops software, for example, that is intended to give engineers pertinent supplier and material information, which allows them to weigh each design decision from an environmental standpoint. Engineers call upon lifecycle analysis software to ensure their products comply with environmental regulations. Meanwhile, the number of manufacturers who will need to meet those regulations represents a growing market for software makers.
