[GreenYes] Re: A new model for waste monitoring?

[Anne Peters <annep@no.address>]

Yeah, at least here in the US there are specialty fractions of the waste 
stream that flow to global markets - copper & other scrap metals, 
electronic scrap, perhaps carpet to specialized processors that exist in 
just one region of a country... paper goes all over the place....   I'm 
sure we can all think of other such examples. If you limit the material 
types you are inquiring about, Bruce, you might be able to draw a circle 
around a complete waste shed that is geographically narrowed.  
Interesting.
