Subject: High priority industries were selected from a Standard Industry Classification (SIC)-based list for investigation of the need or opportunity for waste reduction through source reduction and/or material recycle. Information concerning the opportunities in particular industries was then solicited through associations and individual companies, researchers, and state agencies and a final list of 17 industries was identified. In addition, the investigation identified a list of generic research or technological needs where industry contacts believed research could lead to waste minimization applicable to more than one industry. These were considered particularly attractive because they could avoid any of the proprietary and competitive issues that could inhibit EPA participation in industry-specific developments. Since the start of this project, the USEPA initiated the Industrial Toxics Project (also known as the 33/50) that identifies 17 high priority contaminants on the Toxics Releases Inventory (TRI) for voluntary reductions by the companies generating the waste
