German term or phrase: Nachsorgetechniken
Das klassische Ziel des Technischen Umweltschutzes ist es, die Emissionen umweltgefährdender Stoffe, welche etwa bei industriellen Herstellungsprozessen entstehen, durch den Einsatz geeigneter technischer
Verfahren zu minimieren. Dabei handelt es sich in der Regel um klassische Nachsorgetechniken nach
em „end-of-pipe“-Prinzip. Ein aktuelles Beispiel hierfür ist der Dieselruß-Partikelfilter.

technology for the treatment of waste after it has already been generated


Explanation:
In terms of the use of sources and environmental protection at the global level, the CP concept has replaced ‘end-of-pipe’ principle (an approach to pollution control focusing on treatment of waste after it has already been generated) in solving the problems related to environment.

Producer responsibility essentially takes the polluter pays principle a step further. Whereas polluter pays is somewhat of an 'end-of-pipe' principle, producer responsibility starts at the 'front end' of a product, making producers responsible for its environmental fate, even if it has left their control.

neutral  Armorel Young: it has to have a hyphen - as indeed it does in the reference you quote

agree  hazmatgerman (X): will probably fit in quite a few cases, though on a general rather than process-specific level I dare say.

agree  philgoddard: Come on, Armorel, it does need a hyphen but it's still the right answer! :)
