Related Milestone

Government is leading by example, with significantly less waste generation and less use of toxic substances at the local, state and federal levels. The mandated federal agencies are actively implementing their Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and the required state agencies are actively implementing their sustainability plans. The state contract for hazardous waste management and disposal reflects a preference for waste recycling/reclamation when not in conflict with minimizing long-term liability.
