Description
The MassDEP Reduce, Reuse, Repair Micro-Grant program provides financial support for innovative projects in Massachusetts that reduce waste by extending the life of products through donation, sharing, rescue, reuse, or repair. The grant is designed to encourage businesses, non-profits, municipalities, regional authorities, and educational institutions to develop or expand programs that keep products in use and out of the waste stream. Projects must be short-term (up to one year) and focus on reuse and repair, not composting or recycling. Since its inception in 2019, the program has funded a wide variety of creative waste reduction efforts across Massachusetts.
