Trends in Navy Waste Reduction and Materials Markets.

Abstract

A review of available information on current Navy solid wastes, national laws and policies and the application, demand and economics of using secondary materials recovered from solid waste. Quantitative conclusions for the Navy solid waste stream are based on statistical projections of the size of the Navy and per capita waste generation. While paper and packaging segments of the solid waste streams are emphasized, detailed presentations are made for each of the identified constituents of the waste stream with market projections for the secondary materials. National and Navy statistics are presented and projected through the 1980's time frame. An extensive bibliography on available information pertinent to the Navy solid waste stream is provided.
