9VAC15-30-90. Pollution abatement.
Recycling includes the diversion of material from the waste stream, thereby reducing the amount of material that ultimately has to be deposited in a solid waste management disposal facility or discharged into the environment. Therefore, recycling can reduce the potential for pollution, and a facility (and the related machinery and equipment) that processes recyclables to a manufacturer's specifications or utilizes recycled materials in production shall qualify as a pollution abatement system for the purposes of certification.
