Title: Rulemaking on the Definition of Solid Waste 
Abstract:

On January 13, 2015, EPA revised several recycling-related provisions associated with the definition of solid waste used to determine hazardous waste regulation under subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The purpose of these revisions is to ensure that the hazardous secondary materials recycling regulations, as implemented, encourage reclamation in a way that does not result in increased risk to human health and the environment from hazardous secondary material.
