• {{regulatory_requirements}}: Any specific regulations or permits that apply.
• {{sustainability_goals}}: Any targets for waste reduction, emissions, or resource efficiency.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing details about the facility and its operations.
2. Analyze the provided information to identify key sources of pollution and waste.
