Recommendation IND 6 — Support EPA’s “Beyond Waste-type” efforts.

Support EPA’s efforts to promote sustainable materials management and a closed-loop recycling system including the following national programs:

• The Beyond Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or its equivalent plan.
• Resource Conservation Challenge.
• Performance Track.
• Waste Minimization Partnership Program.
• Innovation in permitting and compliance assistance.
• Reforming the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA).

Washington cannot achieve the Beyond Waste vision without help on the national level. There are too many national laws such as RCRA and TSCA that directly affect the state’s ability to implement Beyond Waste. EPA is a critical partner in helping us implement this plan. Changes to national legislation are essential to Washington State’s success.

Milestone IND F: EPA and Ecology work together to implement Beyond Waste.
