Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Consumer Electronics Battery Recycling, Reprocessing, and Battery Collection - DE-FOA-0002897. Amendment 000004: The purpose of this Amendment is to reopen the FOA to solicit Full Applications for Topic Area 4 (only), remove the requirement to submit a Concept Paper, and incorporate Pre-Selection Interviews. Topic Areas 1-3 are now closed. This Funding Opportunity Announcement will provide funding to support the recycling of consumer electronics batteries and battery-containing devices to help build a robust domestic critical material supply chain for EV batteries in the United States. The program will accomplish this by: 1) Increasing participation by consumers in recycling programs; 2) Improving the economics of consumer battery recycling to create a market for recycling, including battery recycling research, development, and demonstration activities to create innovative and practical approaches to increase the reuse and recycling of batteries; and 3) Increasing the number of these programs, including state and local programs to assist in the establishment or enhancement of state consumer electronics battery collection, recycling, and reprocessing programs and to establish collection points at retailers.
