Description

This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications that support the EPA Sustainable Materials Management Program for the benefit of the EPA Region 2 areas of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While an application submitted must benefit Puerto Rico and/or the U.S. Virgin Islands, it may also benefit areas elsewhere in EPA Region 2(i.e., New York, New Jersey). Sustainable materials management (SMM) is a systemic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire life cycles. It represents a change in how our society thinks about the use of natural resources and environmental protection. By looking at a product's entire life cycle, we can find new opportunities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources and reduce costs.
