Market Status Reports

A series of market status reports was prepared by the California Integrated Waste Management Board that examine market barriers to recycling of postconsumer materials and strategies to overcome them.

Market Status Reports:

• Buy Recycled Programs
• Container and Plate Glass
• Ferrous Scrap
• Industrial Market Development Programs
• Postconsumer Plastics
• Postconsumer Recovered Paper
• Recycled Inerts
• Secondary Material Export Markets
• Urban Compost and Mulch
• Urban Wood
• Waste Tires

In addition, the Board has prepared a market development plan, Meeting the 50 Percent Challenge: Recycling Market Development Strategies Through the Year 2000 (pub. #400-96-058) that identifies the key actions the Board will implement to promote the recycling of targeted priority materials (paper, compostables and mulches, inerts, plastics, and tires).

To obtain copies of the plan or status reports, please contact the Board's Public Affairs Office or download them here or from the Publications Catalog on the Board's web site.
