The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, referred to as FDEP
(www.dep.state.fl.us/), has conducted waste reduction and recycling research. A note-
worthy project of FDEP was a recycling economic information study. The goal of the
study was to document the size of the recycling and reuse industries in Florida. As
part of the study, recycling level estimates were derived via surveys on Florida busi-
nesses. The surveys collected the recycling and reuse rates of solid waste materials in
Florida.
