In-depth investigation of toxics use reduction in Massachusetts industry. 1997.

TURI Methods and Policy Report No. 16. This investigation sought to understand whether TURA motivated businesses to implement toxics use reduction measures, over and above what otherwise would have been implemented at the site. Twenty-five firms were chosen to participate in the study using a stratified random sampling strategy. In-person interviews at each facility ranged from forty-five minutes to four and one half hours and averaged two hours. Persons outside a firm who were significantly involved in the company's TUR activities were also interviewed. The facility's TURA data, 1994 plan, 1996 plan update (if available), and technical assistance report were examined during the interview.
