This paper emphasize on intensive desk review by using data from research articles, books, reports and different documents to explore best case studies for different environmental management strategies and observe the link of these strategies with pollution prevention hierarchy. Environmental management evolves through a serious of strategies starting from passive to reactive and to proactive since 1960s. In passive approach, there was defensive mechanism and no significant management of the environment. In reactive approach, mainly end of pipe system was used to reduce the environmental pollution. Proactive approach is recent evolution focus on environment pollution prevention trough cleaner production. In really situation these all strategies could happen in current time as evidences from different case studies. Passive approach could directly link with the last option of pollution preventionhierarchy which is disposal. Though, Cleaner production and pollution prevention share similar principles, Pollution prevention holds broader concept than cleaner production since it considers the whole environmental pollution prevention rather than only focusing on production /manufacturing process like cleaner production.
