## SEC. 461 USE OF RECOVERED MATERIALS ###

(a)Findings The Congress finds that— ####

(1)significant amounts of industrial energy and other scarce natural resources are conserved in certain majority energy-consuming industries where recovered materials are utilized in their manufacturing operations; ####

(2)substantial additional volumes of industrial energy and other scarce natural resources will be conserved in future years if such major energy-consuming industries increase to the maximum feasible extent utilization of recovered materials in their manufacturing operations; ####

(3)millions of tons of recoverable materials which could be used by such industries are needlessly wasted and buried each year at great cost to State and local governments, while technology and methods exist whereby those materials could readily be made available for utilization; and ####

(4)the recovery and utilization of such recovered materials can substantially reduce the dependence of the United States on foreign natural resources and reduce the growing deficit in its balance of payments. ###

(1)directing that targets for increased industrial utilization of recovered materials be established for certain major energy-consuming industries; ####

(2)creating procedures whereby such industries may cooperate with the Federal Government in the establishment and achievement of such targets; and ####

(3)providing incentives for increased industrial utilization of energy-saving recovered materials in such major energy-consuming industries. **[**[42 U.S.C. 6344a note](/us/usc/t42/s6344a)**]** ###
