(2) IDENTIFY. Identify any naturally occurring waste streams.
(3) SAMPLE. Samples are tested to “qualify” the waste material.
(4) DEFINE. Cost-efficient beneficial reuse options for your waste streams are defined.
(5) PLAN. Finally, after understanding the flow of goods and materials through the organization, a plan is constructed outlining beneficial options
