Abstract

This report is a follow-up to Publ. 300 and documents the results of the 1989 Refining Solid Waste Survey. The quantitative results of the generation of the 28 waste and residual streams and their management according to the environmental management hierarchy (i.e., source reduction, recycling, treatment and disposal) is presented. In addition, the document contains a discussion of the state of source reduction activities underway within the industry including a quantitation of source reduction achievements on the 28 streams and the methods used to calculate source reduction.
