| 07/01/2002 | RECYCLING OF PLASTIC WASTES | Memo | |
| | Description: EPA promotes a hierarchy of waste management options that includes waste prevention, followed by recycling, and finally disposal. EPA does not have the authority to require plastic collection and recycling. Plastics are difficult to recycle. States have attempted to improve the plastics recycling rate in a variety of ways. EPA focuses its efforts on creating better markets, improving collection efficiencies, and working with industry to improve the recyclability of the materials. The Jobs Through Recycling (JTR) program concentrates on improving the marketplace for recyclables. |
| |
|
| 06/24/2002 | CURRENT RECYCLING PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES | Memo | |
| | Description: State and local authorities are primarily responsible for the management of municipal solid waste (MSW). National laws do not allow EPA to establish federal recycling regulations. EPA publishes information, provides technical support, and develops voluntary programs to encourage recycling. Since materials collected for recycling are determined by existing markets, EPA helps to develop new markets and expand existing markets for recovered materials by working with states, local communities, businesses, trade associations, and consumers. |

|
| 01/19/2001 | SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROMOTE INCREASED WASTE UTILIZATION | Memo | |
| | Description: This memo contains the OSWER response to Science Advisory Board (SAB) recommendations on overcoming barriers to waste utilization. OSW has amended the definition of solid waste and hazardous waste recycling requirements several times to encourage recovery. OSW has studied cement kiln dust (CKD) and fossil fuel combustion waste utilization. OSW and the Office of Research and Development (ORD) have developed an environmental fate and transport model called the 3MRA Model for estimating "exit levels" for waste. OSW has designated items containing recovered materials in the Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) and supported the Extended Product Responsibility (EPR) and the Jobs Through Recycling (JTR) programs. EPA supports the development of guidance manuals on waste utilization and innovative technology development programs for the large-scale utilization of waste materials. |

|
| 08/17/1999 | ADMINISTRATION POLICIES ON RECYCLING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE | Memo | |
| | Description: President Clinton supports recycling through programs such as the federal procurement program (Executive Order 13101), including the appointment of a Federal Environmental Executive (FEE), and the White House recycling program. EPA’s recycling efforts include the WasteWi$e program, Jobs Through Recycling, and cooperation with government and industry groups and associations. |
| |
|
| 07/20/1999 | COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE | Memo | |
| | Description: EPA encourages recycling, including composting, of municipal solid waste through programs and initiatives including the Municipal Solid Waste Assistance Program and Jobs Through Recycling. States may have additional programs. |
