EPA Seeks Input to Inform New Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling Grant Programs and Initiatives
On June 9, EPA published three Requests for Information to obtain feedback from a wide array of stakeholders to develop each of the new waste prevention, reuse, and recycling initiatives funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides EPA $375 million to develop several new initiatives including the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling grant program, the Recycling Education and Outreach grant program, and a Model Recycling Toolkit as well as funding to improve battery collection, recycling, labeling, and outreach across the nation. Through the Requests for Information, EPA is asking all interested individuals and organizations to share their perspectives on resources, opportunities, and barriers related to waste prevention, and reuse and recycling programs.

EPA will be soliciting additional stakeholder input through virtual meetings across the country during 2022.
