Abstract
Governments considering action to encourage source reduction of hazardous wastes should proceed with caution. Only research and information programs are certain to improve efficiency in waste generation decisions by generators. Other programs, such as waste taxes, subsidies for source reduction, or regulations are likely to cause more problems than they solve. These problems are inherent in the nature of industrial waste or the program type or both.Keywords
