(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that, whenever possible, the generation of hazardous waste is to be reduced or eliminated as expeditiously as possible, and that waste that is generated should be recycled, treated, or disposed of in a manner that minimizes any present or future threats to human health or the environment.
(b) The Legislature further finds that there exists many promising, but as yet unproven, technologies for the reduced generation of hazardous waste and for recycling and treating hazardous waste.
(c) The Legislature further finds that financial commitment by public agencies and private industry for the expeditious development and dispersion of hazardous waste reduction, recycling, and treatment technologies depends upon further research as well as credible and timely demonstrations of the feasibility, environmental acceptability, and reliability of this technology.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this article, to promote the research, development, and expeditious demonstration of technologies which have the potential to reduce, recycle, and treat hazardous waste. It is further the intent of the Legislature to encourage private sector participation in this program to the greatest extent possible.
