Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "cradle to grave responsibility" refers to the requirement imposed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that generators of hazardous waste must manage their waste from the point of generation ("cradle") to the point of disposal ("grave"). This includes identification, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of the hazardous waste, as well as maintaining records and complying with reporting requirements. The RCRA also imposes strict liability and responsibility for any harm caused by the hazardous waste on the generator, but this is a separate concept from cradle to grave responsibility. Joint and several liability and individual liability and responsibility are not specifically mentioned in the context of the RCRA.
