The U.S. firms selected will 1. Assess and develop the feasibility of a strategy which Umicore Med could develop to reduce waste generation in terms of volume and harmfulness, and; 2. Develop the feasibility of recycling two main waste streams coming from the factory, Fayalite and Gypsum, in order to limit waste storage in landfill and optimise recycling. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $141,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA).
