OECD Wast Min Policy Case Studies

["Dina Li" <dli@lan828.ehsg.saic.com>]

On behalf of the USEPA, we are researching non-EU (e.g., Austrialia, 
Canada, Hungary, Poland, New Zealand, Turkey, Korea, Japan, Mexico) OECD member 
countries' approaches to waste mnimization.  Specifically, we are 
developing case studies that will include: 
1.  a description of the  general waste management structure
2. a description and analysis of waste minimization  efforts either voluntary or 
regulatory (types of wmin instruments include:  waste disposal 
charges, product charges, deposit/refund, liability of polluters, 
extended producer responsibility, environmental reporting, 
environmental plans, recycling/waste reduction targets, pilot 
projects, information dissemination, ecolabelling, grants, taxes)

If you have any information or points of contact that you can share 
with us, we'd really appreciate your assistance.  Please contact 
Kris Tensuan at 703-318-4770, or Dina Li.  Thanks!
