Abstract | The project consists of an analysis of the economic impacts of alternative regulatory levels for hazardous waste management in the batteries, electronics and special machinery industries. The analysis will consist of three segments: Industry profile, cost of compliance, and economic impact analysis. The Industry Profile will delineate the products, producers, and plant characteristics in the industries. The Cost of Compliance will review the hazardous waste streams generated by each of the industry groups, together with estimates of compliance costs associated with alternative management technologies. The Economic Impact Analysis will assess the economic impacts associated with incremental hazardous waste management costs for the industry groups in such areas as: availability of facilities, financing, prices, employment, plant closures and balance of trade. |
