The Indiana Recycling Market Development Program (RMDP) is currently accepting grant proposals ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 to fund recycling projects. This opportunity is open to Indiana businesses, local governments, solid waste management districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations.
The RMDP aims to boost recycling in Indiana by expanding markets, manufacturing capacity, and creating jobs through sustainable practices. To be eligible for the grant, projects must demonstrate economic impact and increased public awareness through outreach and education efforts. They should also result in at least one of the following outcomes: an increase in the amount of recyclable material collected or used, a reduction in municipal solid waste shipped for final disposal, or improved partnerships with communities.
Organizations interested in applying for the grant can find more information on the IDEM Facebook page. Additional assistance is available by calling 800-988-7901 or emailing RMDPGrants@idem.IN.gov. By taking advantage of this funding opportunity, organizations can make a significant impact on recycling efforts in Indiana.
