Delaware faces significant challenges regarding plastic waste management, with growing environmental concerns surrounding pollution in waterways and communities. Capacity gaps in Delaware highlight the need for innovative solutions that engage both local entrepreneurs and educational institutions in combating plastic waste. This grant program is available to graduate students in Delaware who are focused on developing practical, scalable solutions to reduce plastic consumption and enhance recycling efforts.
Eligible projects must demonstrate an understanding of the local context and the specific challenges posed by plastic waste.
