Two major funding opportunities created through the investment are to be implemented as a part of the EPA\u2019s National Recycling Strategy. The EPA has selected 25 communities to receive over $73 million in grants from the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling fund. Additional funding of $32 million will allow states and territories to improve solid waste management.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA intends for the funding to contribute to a more circular economy, keeping materials in circulation for as long as possible and avoiding the flow of single-use materials to landfills. Examples of projects selected for the Solid Waste Infrastructure Grants range from purchasing new fleets of recycling collection vehicles to enhancing composting and organic waste collection infrastructure. The grants for states and territories, which range between $360,000 to $750,000, will go towards projects such as improving solid waste management plans or strengthening data collection to inform operations.<\/p>\n<p>Of the $73 million being devoted to communities, $56 million is to be directed toward projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. The EPA is also working to ensure waste is being properly managed at waste facilities to avoid potential health hazards for workers and communities surrounding such sites.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2023\/09\/united-states-invests-100-million-to-expand-recycling-infrastructure\/\">Environmental Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-397\/\">United States Invests $100 Million to Expand Recycling Infrastructure<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3901,764,7498],"class_list":["post-116865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-infrastructure","tag-recycling","tag-united-states"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116865\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
