Pollution Prevention and Recycling
Turn environmental challenges into market opportunities and competitive
advantage.
Empire State Development (ESD) offers assistance to companies that want to
substantially reduce costs and/or expand operations by reusing, remanufacturing,
or recycling materials that are normally disposed; or by reducing the volume or
toxicity of waste and/or by-products. Financial Assistance – ESD
offers
funding for projects that produce measurable results in pollution prevention,
reuse, and recycling.
- Capital funding invests in the physical assets (such as
plant, machinery and equipment and infrastructure) needed to
achieve pollution prevention, recycling and waste reduction at manufacturing
and other companies.
- Technical assistance funding is available for NYS non-profit
organizations or municipalities that directly assist New York State
businesses to achieve pollution prevention, reuse or recycling results.
- Research, development and demonstration (RD&D) funds to test, evaluate or demonstrate the technical and/or economic
feasibility of technologies or practices that prevent, reuse, remanufacture
or recycle waste.
Eligible applicants include qualified small and medium-sized New York State
businesses, non-profit organizations and municipalities on behalf of New York
State businesses. Funding requests are reviewed on a competitive basis
throughout the year. The extent of private investment and the significance of
expected economic and environmental benefits are evaluated to determine award
