Indiana Recycling Market Development Program (RMDP) is currently offering 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 projects should showcase sustainability and an understanding of the changing economy for recyclers while highlighting how the grant money can help boost recycling in Indiana by expanding markets, manufacturing capacity, and creating jobs.
The deadline for submitting proposals is June 13th and applicants must demonstrate economic impact and increased public awareness through outreach and education efforts. The grants will be administered through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), with final funding decisions being made in the fall.
