The products and services produced in Washington are designed to minimize hazards throughout their life-cycles. Nearly all products are less toxic, and consumer demand for effective, environmentally friendly products is widespread. Products formulated with hazardous materials are handled as carefully as hazardous waste.
2. Economic Vitality
   Washington businesses and other sectors thrive in the domestic and global marketplace as hazardous materials are systematically eliminated from products and services. Consumer confidence has increased, risks and liabilities have decreased, and costs for managing wastes are reduced. Washington businesses, and the products and services they provide, are designed to maximize pollution prevention and sustainability principles.
3. Sustainable Materials Management
   Consumers demand sustainable products and services that Washington businesses design and provide. Protecting human health and the environment is paramount. A well-operating infrastructure for safely and responsibly managing hazardous materials exists.
