GRANTSMarket Development GrantsMarket Development Grants were introduced in 1994 to encourage the development of new markets for products made from discarded materials, such as scrap tires, plastics, glass, electronics, paper and other fiber-based products. The grants provide financial assistance to recycled material processors and product manufacturers through local government bodies. The funds are used to establish or expand the use of recycled-content materials, or to foster recycling market development research. To date, the Market Development Grants program has approved the funding of 87 projects, providing over $10 million. This has resulted in the creation of almost 100 new jobs and the recycling of 540,000 additional tons of materials.
