§ 6090. Findings; intent. (a) The General Assembly finds that:  (1) Recycling of waste materials is preferable to incinerating or landfilling those materials because recycling conserves valuable resources, saves energy in the manufacturing process and extends the life of disposal facilities; (2) Increased recycling is necessary in Delaware to meet the EPA's national goal of a 25% reduction of the solid waste stream; (3) Plastics have been shown to be recyclable; (4) One of the barriers to increased recycling of plastics is the necessity of keeping the various types of plastic separate, based on the resin from which they are made; and (5) The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., has devised a coding system that can be used to label plastic containers so as to identify the type of resin from which they are made. (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to facilitate the recycling of plastic containers by requiring that these containers be labeled according to resin type. 68 Del. Laws, c. 174, §  1;

2021 Delaware Code|Title 7 - Conservation|Chapter 63. Hazardous Waste Management|Subchapter I. Hazardous Waste|§ 6301. Findings; purpose.

§ 6301. Findings; purpose. (a) The General Assembly finds that:  (1) Continuing technological progress, increases in the amounts of manufacture and the abatement of air and water pollution have resulted in ever-increasing quantities of hazardous wastes; (2) The public health and safety and the environment are threatened where hazardous wastes are not managed in an environmentally sound manner and where there are no commercial hazardous waste management facilities available; (3) The knowledge and technology necessary to alleviate adverse health, environmental and aesthetic impacts resulting from current hazardous waste management and disposal practices are believed to be generally available at costs within the financial capability of those who generate such wastes, but that such knowledge and technology are not widely used; (4) The problem of managing hazardous wastes has become a matter of statewide concern. (b) Therefore, it is hereby declared that the purposes of this chapter are:  (1) To protect the public health and safety, the health of organisms and the environment from the effects of the improper, inadequate or unsound management of hazardous wastes; (2) To establish a program of regulation over the storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes; and (3) To assure the safe and adequate management of hazardous wastes within this State.62 Del.

L. 94-580, as amended) [42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.]. (d) Any person generating any solid waste shall be responsible for any testing necessary to determine whether any material generated by them is a hazardous waste according to Department approved testing procedures. (e) This chapter and regulations applicable to transporters of hazardous waste shall apply equally to those persons transporting hazardous wastes generated by others and to those transporting hazardous wastes they have generated themselves, or combinations thereof, as well as to persons transporting hazardous waste into, through or out of the State. (f) Any person transporting hazardous waste must report a hazardous waste discharge to appropriate officials and clean up any hazardous waste discharge that occurs during transportation or take such other action as may be required or approved by appropriate officials so that the discharge no longer presents a hazard to human health or the environment. (g) Any person transporting hazardous waste who owns, operates or utilizes a hazardous waste transfer facility for storage of in-transport hazardous waste shall do so in accordance with the Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Wastes. 62 Del.
