BACKGROUND:
On June 9 , 1992 the Markets. Committee of the CIWMB voted
unanimously to recommend designation of the Industrial Shoreline of
Contra Costa as a Recycling Markets Development Zone. Our
application received the highest scoring of the 17 applications
submitted.
Our application is based on the partnership of 12 local public
agencies, the private sector, and the State to develop at the
local level both recycling businesses and markets for recycled
content products. Our application focuses on four materials--
plastics, tires, tin, and yardwaste--which allow us to piggy.-back
market development onto existing industries such as our oil
refineries for plastics and USS/POSCO for de-tinning operations.
Also, our application includes a public/private partnership to
support recycling businesses by establishing a Recycling Markets
Development Corporation.
