Recommendation DATA 2 — Update and review existing indicators on an annual basis. Develop and implement an evaluation process for all working indicators. Eliminate non-useful, non-viable measures, and add potential new measures.

Every year, Ecology will review the indicators in the Progress Report to determine their relevance to initiatives as well as the plan recommendations and milestones. At least every five years, Ecology and its partners will fully evaluate the indicators to determine whether they are still adequately answering key questions on Beyond Waste progress or whether we need new or different indicators.

As part of the evaluation process, Ecology and its partners will:

• Discuss efforts made to date on closing data gaps such as the lack of good data on small-volume hazardous materials purchased, used, and disposed.
• Explain what has been done to increase the effectiveness of existing data-collection efforts.

Milestone DATA C: An evaluation process and recommendations for existing indicators are in place.
