Monitor and research proven uses of recycled materials and implement that use in more widespread or high-volume applications.

 

Encourage target businesses to utilize a recycled feedstock. For example, use recycled crushed aggregate as construction fill, or recycled crushed glass as a sandblasting media. Governments can encourage building contractors to use quality salvaged materials, or encourage a plastic manufacturer to evaluate using a small percentage of recycled plastic feedstock. Examples of pertinent case studies can be found at CWC's publications page at www.cwc.org/pubs? and Chelsea Center's publications page at: www.chelseacenter.org/Publications1.asp#TechReport. Other examples may be found with recycling associations, recycling magazines, or entities similar to the King County Commission for Recycled Materials dnr.metrokc.gov/market/index.htm
