EPA Grant for Food Manufacturing Facilities

No long complicated applications and never knowing if you will get the grant. This is an exclusive invitation to food processors looking to conserve resources and reduce their environmental impact.

The DEP is looking specifically for 3 food companies to partner with in a pilot program doing FREE in-depth analysis of their manufacturing processes and potential waste issues. So you wouldn't have to go through a lengthy application form just give Ky Asral at the DEP a call and see if you are a good fit for the program. Contact Lisa McCracken at NJFPA for more information or go directly to Ky Asral at the DEP to get started.

The official grant reads:
"The proposed project will holistically evaluate the environmental impacts from New Jersey food manufacturers by closely examining three facilities through P2 case studies and identify methods to reduce these impacts. Project activities will include onsite technical assistance, environmental and energy benchmarking, registration on the Sustainable Business Registry website, and promotion of project findings to food manufacturers at educational roundtables."
