Abstract:
The Triangle area’s landfills are filling up. While recycling household items has become more common, two-thirds of what goes into landfills comes from industrial and commercial waste. Efforts are underway to try to recycle waste from these companies by finding markets for the used materials. While the market for recycled materials is growing, the problem is that many of these materials do not need to be produced in the first place.

Abstract:
Governor Jim Martin and the state of North Carolina are struggling to find a home for their hazardous waste. A planned incinerator has been rejected in 15 counties due to citizen opposition and concern for public health. One solution is the forthcoming bill named the Toxic Use Reduction Act which proposes a shift toward toxic waste reduction and commitment to clean manufacturing rather than hazardous waste disposal. Businesses, politicians, and environmentalists believe a solution can be met if all sides are willing to compromise.

This endeavor represents a marketplace development for the state, of turning trash into treasure and constitutes an achievement of the General Assembly's Solid Waste Management Act.
