The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set a goal to increase the national recycling rate to 50 percent by 2030, and in late 2021 released the National Recycling Strategy, which outlines about 50 multi-stakeholder-led actions, intended to help hit that target.
Now, two EPA grant programs are available, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to provide support in two among many areas prioritized by the strategy: community education and outreach and solid waste management infrastructure.
