The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) is accepting grant proposals for programs that provide for the recycling and/or reuse of post-consumer carpet, or increase the demand for products made from post-consumer carpet.
Grants of up to $50,000 will be available to private sector applicants in each of three categories: intermediate processing and end-use; enhancement of the collection infrastructure; and research and development of markets.
Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria: waste stream impact, probability of program success, palling/cost effectiveness, need, technology transfer and sourcing and markets.
The closing date for receipt of proposals is March 15, 2004. More information can be found on the Web at www.carpetrecovery.org/grants/index.asp.Latest from Recycling Today
