MINI has unveiled the MINI Vision which shows what the all-new MINI hatchback, due to be launched early next year, will look like. Unusually the Vision isn’t a physical concept car, instead it’s only a digital model, but it’s enough to give us a very good idea of the look of the new car.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) modified the hazardous waste management regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to conditionally exclude solvent-contaminated wipes from hazardous waste regulations provided that businesses clean or dispose of them properly.

EPA estimates that the final rule will result in a net savings of between $21.7 million and $27.8 million per year.
