| Abstract | Long Description |
This background paper for the Beyond Waste Summary Document discusses the role that industry can play in reducing risks from the use of toxic substances and from the generation of hazardous wastes. The recommendations in this paper build on successes that industry has already achieved in preventing pollution and reducing wastes. An important strategy is for Ecology to work with select industrial sectors to capitalize on opportunities for improvements. |
