, beyond that which was already being diverted. The preprocessor must provide proof of binding agreement with a California finished product producer that receives the preprocessed feedstock to make compost, soil amendments, biofuels, bioenergy, or recycled content finished products.
Finished Product Producer A finished product producer makes a good or package in a form which requires no further processing or forming before it is offered for sale to an end-user. It does not include intermediate products, such as plastic pellets sold as feedstock to a converter for fabrication into a consumer product. The loan program cannot finance equipment and machinery that will be located and operated by a third-party.
A preprocessor who makes intermediate recycled-content intermediate products, must be located in California, and sell the products to Finished Product Producers that are also located in California. Finished product producers must be located in California. Feedstock Waste Material Types Organics Projects: Organics (green waste and food waste) waste materials.
Recycled Fiber, Plastic, and Glass Projects: Recycled fiber (paper, textiles including mattresses, carpet, and wood), plastic, and glass waste materials. Environmental Requirements Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction: Projects must be located in California and result in permanent, annual, and measurable reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Feedstock/Waste Material Diversion from Landfills Projects must increase the quantity (tons) of: Organics projects: California-generated green or food materials, or alternative daily cover (ADC) newly diverted from landfills and composted or digested; or Recycled fiber, plastic, and glass projects: California-generated fiber, plastic, or glass materials newly diverted from landfills.
For purposes of this program, “newly diverted” means the tons of materials that are currently being landfilled or used as alternative daily cover that will instead be diverted as a result of this project.
Construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities to increase in-state infrastructure for: The digestion or composting of organics into compost, soil amendments, biofuels, or bioenergy; or The manufacturing of value-added finished products using California derived recycled content fiber, plastic, or glass.

Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is sponsored by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. This program provides financial assistance in the form of reimbursement grants up to $500,000 to help public entities accelerate the pace of cleanup, restore sites, and turn today’s problems into tomorrow’s opportunities. Widespread illegal dumping of solid waste adversely impacts Californians in many ways. Properties on which illegal dumping occurs lose economic value; create public health and safety and environmental problems; and degrade the enjoyment and pride in the affected communities. Abandoned, idled, or underutilized properties due to unauthorized dumping impact what were once the sources of economic benefits to a community. Many such properties have been abandoned or have owners who are unable or unwilling to pay the costs of cleanup.
On August 20, 2026 the Energy Department named seven selections across the Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling programs. Three of the seven are recycling or reprocessing. Two awards hit the $100 million ceiling. The round is 83% smaller than Round 2, and the composition tells you exactly what DOE will fund next.
Read articleDE-FOA-0003627 closes September 8, 2026, with $150 million across four topic areas and roughly 10 expected awards. Three topics fund enhanced recovery and fracture diagnostics; one funds produced water treatment — the smallest pot at $24 million, and the one with the least crowded applicant field. Here is the full topic breakdown, the TRL 5-to-7 bar that disqualifies most lab-stage teams, the 20 percent cost share math, and why a companion $65.5 million NOFO closing September 22 changes how you should sequence two applications.
