Zero Waste
America (ZWA) is a Internet-based environmental research organization
specializing in the field of Zero Waste. We provide (through our website,
primarily), information on associated
legislative, legal, technical, environmental, health, and
consumer issues.
We also specialize in information on U.S. waste disposal issues, particularly the
lack a federal 'waste management' plan, the use of 'disposal bans' to legally stop waste disposal and imports, the long-proposed federal Interstate Waste legislation, waste data collection methodology, and applicable federal case law. ZWA is
an authority on the regulatory enforcement of the State Plan (waste management) provisions of The Solid Waste Disposal Act (otherwise known as The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act - RCRA).
ZWA is non-profit and unconventional. We accept no money.
ZWA
has no membership, regular meetings, or conventional office
holding. ZWA is not associated with any business or
government.
