[p2tech] materials accounting question

Hi all,

I'm researching a question posed to us by one of Minnesota's state
legislators about materials accounting data.

Basically, she's wondering whether Minnesota should follow New Jersey's and
Massachusetts' leads in requiring such data from manufacturers and other
industrial facilities.

What I'm looking for is any evidence that such a requirement leads to
greater progress in pollution prevention than in states like Minnesota that
only require Toxic Release Inventory data reporting.

Anyone have any leads they can share with me?

Sincerely,
