I strongly disagree. No matter how many people dislike sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, no manufacturer will filter the sulfates out of their waste until they are forced to do so by law. In my experience working for a couple different manufacturers, I can tell you than every (good) company wants to follow the law, but they aren't going to cost themselves money by going above and beyond.
