This competitive Request for Applications (RFA) is open to private, non-profit, tribal and public entities, including those working on research, development, and deployment projects related to circular economy and industrial waste reuse across Washington state.
Eligible Activities
Applications for innovative research, development and deployment projects may include:
-Conceptual work by public utilities to redirect their waste to productive use
-Existing inventories or project concepts involving specific biobased wastes converted to renewable natural gas
-Research on product development using a specific waste flow
-Feasibility studies to evaluate potential biobased resources
-Feasibility studies for publicly owned utilities to evaluate business models to transform to multiutility operations or for the evaluation of potential symbiosis connections with other regional businesses
-Projects which help facilitate the development of industrial symbiosis parks across WA
-Other local waste coordination projects as determined by Commerce
As a special preference, projects which facilitate the development of industrial symbiosis parks are encouraged to apply. These are shared sites or properties that enable organizations to co-locate and partner in the use of resources more sustainably through integrating by-product waste streams into production processes, such as waste materials, wastewater or waste heat.
