Grant Application Announcement for the Management of Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center

[33 Pa.B. 5671]

   Applications are now available from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for nonprofit organizations and universities interested in managing the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center (Center). After reviewing all eligible applications submitted, the Department will award one recipient a grant on a competitive basis to establish, support and oversee the Center. The Center will serve to expand and develop more secure and robust markets for recovered secondary materials by helping Commonwealth businesses overcome market barriers and inefficiencies.

   The Department recognizes the need to assure Commonwealth businesses that reliable recycling market information is available. This information provides businesses with the tools to develop strategic plans that can chart a course for identifying new opportunities for growth and profitability. Developing reliable recycling market information involves: the compilation of economic, political, regulatory, societal and technological data; the interpretation of how current and anticipated events will impact business practices and relationships among solid waste, scrap and manufacturing industries; the identification of those business practices that need to be adjusted; and good communication skills to transfer knowledge to a targeted audience. Furthermore, to remain competitive in the ever-changing recycling environment, recycling businesses need to be introduced to the latest technologies that increase efficiency and productivity in collection, processing and manufacturing activities.

   The Department will accept grant applications until 4 p.m. on March 5, 2004. Applications may be obtained by contacting Georgia Kagle, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, (717) 787-7382, gkagle@state.pa.us or by visiting the Department's website: www.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: Market Development).
