This is one of eight issue papers prepared by Ecology staff to help in the development of strategic plans to move Washington in a new direction: toward a society that views waste as an inefficient use of resources and believes that many wastes can be eliminated. Eliminating wastes will contribute to social, economic, and environmental vitality.
