## What the grant funds

The EPA is soliciting applications that will facilitate the creation of new capacity for, optimize existing capacity of, or identify strategies that: (1) Result in an increase in sustainable management of post-consumer materials; and (2) Reduce the amount of recyclable materials disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Applications seeking to prevent generated waste and reduce/reuse materials are eligible under this solicitation. Region 3 currently does not have sufficient organics recycling infrastructure to support our food waste diversion goals. Facilitating the creation of additional organics recycling capacity is critical. As a result, Region 3 has incorporated a preference for anaerobic digestion and composting projects in the rating factors
