The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment working through its Pollution Prevention Advisory Board and the Assistance Committee to the board, is requesting applications for grants that will be awarded from the Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity (RREO) Fund to purchase:
Approximately $600,000 is available for this special grant cycle. We will be looking to fund only 2-4 projects.
In order to incentivize business and job growth in the recycling industry in Colorado, this grant is being offered to help offset the costs of equipment that is to be used for creating an end-use product made of recycled materials collected and manufactured in Colorado. The grant is designed to aid local entities, or those entities who want to locate their business in Colorado, that will utilize recycled products. Equipment may be utilized in the direct manufacture of a recycled content product or for the purpose of final processing of the recycled materials needed in the manufacturing process.
Questions should be submitted to Assistance Committee Chairperson, Marjorie Griek at mgriek@cafr.org . Please submit questions no later than 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 24th, 2010. Answers to questions posed via e-mail will be posted on the department’s website by November 30th, 2010.
