Abstract:
North Carolina is moving towards waste reduction and pollution prevention measures, because it is more cost-effective to avoid producing waste than to clean or treat waste. Representatives of the North Carolina Pollution Prevention Program and the Hazardous Waste Management Branch believe obstacles to adopt waste reduction/pollution prevention as a national priority may have become institutionalized.
