Pollution prevention shall not include actions taken at locations away from the pollution-generating activity, including recycling or treatment, or concentrating the hazardous content of a waste, or the toxic content of a toxic chemical, to reduce volume, or diluting to reduce the degree of hazard or toxicity.
