Boost Sustainability with Indiana’s Recycling Market Development Program: Apply Now for Grants to Expand Recycling Efforts

Indiana Recycling Market Development Program (RMDP) is currently offering grant proposals to businesses, local governments, solid waste management districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations for recycling projects in the state. The program aims to promote sustainability and expand recycling in Indiana through increased markets, manufacturing capacity, and job creation.

The RMDP grants range from $50,000 to $500,000 and can be used to fund a wide range of recycling initiatives. To be eligible for the grant, applicants must demonstrate economic impact and increased public awareness through outreach and education efforts. Additionally, projects must achieve at least one of the following outcomes: an increase in the amount of recyclable material collected or used, a reduction in municipal solid waste sent for final disposal, or improved partnerships with communities.

The deadline for submitting proposals is June 13th. For more information on eligibility requirements, project guidelines, and how to apply interested parties can visit the RMDP website. Additional assistance is also available by calling 800-988-7901 or emailing RMDPGrants@idem.IN.gov.
