Recommendation Data2: Continue the work of Ecology’s data team to produce a joint Beyond Waste progress report

Modify Ecology’s existing data-collection system to be more comprehensive and to be more in line with a materials flow framework system. The Key Questions need to be kept in mind throughout this process. One of the tasks of this group will be to produce a joint Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction (HWTR) and Solid Waste & Financial Assistance (SWFA) Program Beyond Waste progress report annually or every other year, starting in 2006. This report will:

  • Include existing as well as new performance indicators.
  • Discuss efforts that have been made to date on closing data gaps such as the lack of good data on moderate risk waste.
  • Explain what has been done to increase the effectiveness of existing data-collection efforts.
  • Be user-friendly, emphasize the big-picture and be posted on the Beyond Waste Web site.
