This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) Grant Program (CFDA 66.920), provides $511,502 in funding to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. Through this award, DEP will carry out several key activities to enhance Pennsylvania's post-consumer materials management, including: 1) Conducting assessments of the state's food recovery, plastics, and paper recycling infrastructure and logistics, 2) Identifying and evaluating environmental justice issues related to these systems, and 3) Developing a communications plan to increase public awareness. DEP will partner with the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center, Inc. as a sub-recipient to perform the proposed project work. The intended outcomes are to improve the availability of organics recycling, food donation opportunities, and plastics recycling infrastructure across Pennsylvania, with a focus on benefitting disadvantaged communities.
