Economic development in the recycling arena

Article Abstract:

The trading of industrial products involves the utilization of various marketing strategies. Recycling industries are similarly inclined to follow suit. Tax incentives, procurement policies, minimum content legislation and loans to industries that use recyclables are some examples of these strategies. Decreasing prices of scrap materials emphasize the need for more markets. As a result, the development of markets for these types of products is regarded with high priority by state officials.

Taking the lead in urban recycling

Article Abstract:

Seattle took the lead among American cities in urban recycling. In 1991, it recycled 40% of its waste stream and currently pursues a target goal of 60% recycling by 1998. Notable progress has been achieved through curbside recycling, volume-based trash fees, yard waste composting and private sector recycling projects. Public attitude and landfill problems were the major factors involved in boosting Seattle's recycling efforts.
