 Coalition for
Responsible Waste Incineration
CRWI Mission Statement
Members of CRWI recognize that high temperature combustion is an
integral part of the solution to the waste management challenge facing
hazardous waste generators today. Consistent with EPA's waste
management hierarchy, CRWI members advocate waste reduction and
recycling as the key first steps in any comprehensive, responsible
waste management plan. However, for many wastes that cannot be
eliminated or recycled, combustion remains the safest, most appropriate
treatment method.
CRWI member companies are committed to a leadership role in
managing hazardous waste responsibly and operating safe thermal
destruction devices in the communities in which they are located, in
strict conformance with all permit conditions. In that connection, CRWI
seeks to achieve this mission by focusing on the following guiding
principles:
- Partnership with lawmakers, regulators and other companies
and organizations to produce environmentally sound, cost-effective laws
and regulations governing hazardous waste management;
- Education and elevation of public consciousness about the
safety and role of combustion in the waste management hierarchy;
- Improvement of member company combustion operations through
the sharing of scientific knowledge available in the field; and
- Facilitation of combustion and incineration research.
