Scrap Recycling Industry's CCP, Inc.
Green Tier - Charter

The Scrap Recycling Industry began developing the first Charter with the DNR in mid-2004. This cooperative approach was rooted in the earlier Cooperative Compliance Program, which served as a model for such programs in the rest of the nation. The DNR and representatives from the scrap recycling industry continued to work toward a Charter that is beneficial both to the DNR, and to individual members of the scrap metal recycling industry. Their work is grounded in the belief that better relations between government and business are the foundation for superior environmental performance.

Members of the scrap industry will be encouraged to join the Charter as Tier 1 or Tier 2 participants in Green Tier. The Charter will require each participating scrap dealers to adopt an Environmental Management System, and to identify objectives and targets. Each dealer will be audited against these objectives and targets annually. In addition, a consultant will be hired by the industry to provide training to participants regarding their environmental responsibilities.
