  3. (2)

    Packaging comprises a significant percentage of the overall solid waste stream;#

    The presence of heavy metals in packaging is a concern in light of the likely presence of heavy metals in emissions or ash when packaging is incinerated or in leachate when packaging is landfilled;#

  5. (4)

    Lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, on the basis of available scientific and medical evidence, are of particular concern;#

  6. (5)

    It is desirable as a first step in reducing the toxicity of packaging waste to eliminate the addition of heavy metals to packaging; and#

  7. (6)
