Two Decades of HazMat Management

摘要

Year 2009 was our 20th year publishing HazMat Management magazine. We chose this final edition of the calendar year to acknowledge the anniversary. It doesn't matter much which month we chose; the official launch date of the publication back in 1989 was a bit blurred. While the first printing as a glossy magazine was in September of that year, HazMat initially started as a little-known newsletter called the Hazardous Waste Industry Review, founded earlier that year. In truth, the newsletter - which appeared only a couple of times - was more of a marketing tool than anything else, to show prospective advertisers that we were serious about publishing something.
