Abstract | The paper outlines the purpose, structure, and utility of several hazardous waste reduction programs, highlighting North Carolina's Pollution Prevention Program. It finds the program both innovative and successful in providing effective alternatives to the negative incentive of regulation and costly treatment options. It concludes that their continued success requires support from government, industry, and citizens, and that government's role should include positive technical assistance and financial incentives in addition to regulations and enforcement. |
