The Universal Waste Rule (UWR) of RCRA was enacted in 1995 to facilitate hazardous waste recycling. The UWR created streamlined regulations that govern the collection and management of certain widely generated wastes, termed universal wastes. Under the rule, the EPA exempts universal wastes from the full scope of RCRA’s hazardous waste regulations.
