(30 ILCS 750/3-2) (from Ch. 127, par. 2703-2)
Sec. 3-2. Findings and purpose. (a) The General Assembly finds:
(1) that the land disposal of hazardous and solid wastes poses a threat to human health and the environment and that the disposal of such wastes in landfills is not the safest and most environmentally sound method of managing wastes;
(2) that whenever possible, hazardous and solid wastes should be recycled, reclaimed, reused or treated to be detoxified; and
(3) that although many methods for the recycling and treatment of hazardous and solid wastes currently exist, new technologies are being developed and should be promoted.
(b) It is the purpose of this Article to establish a grant and loan program to foster the development of new hazardous waste recycling and treatment technologies and to provide incentives for the use and commercialization of such technologies.
