چکیده
This paper examines waste prevention – the “reduce, reuse” part of the solid waste management hierarchy. It summarizes research findings on prevention – some generated as background papers in 2007 as part of DEQ’s Waste Prevention Strategy development — and supplements with a more recent literature review. DEQ’s Waste Prevention Strategy is also summarized. This paper concludes with a status report on the Waste Prevention Strategy and a short discussion of key challenges moving forward.
