Missouri Market Development Program

Helping Missouri's Recycling Infrastructure Grow!

The Missouri Market Development Program promotes the development of markets for recovered materials and recycled content products throughout Missouri by providing financial incentives, technical assistance and information services to businesses, governments and other organizations.

Markets for recovered materials help recycling expand its role in a sustainable economy for Missouri, contributing to a quality environment, conserving resources and reducing reliance on Missouri's landfills for solid waste disposal.  Recycling market development helps ensure that recyclables collected from residents and businesses are used by companies as raw materials in manufacturing products that are purchased and used by consumers.

Together, with business, government and other organizations, we are overcoming marketplace barriers and providing opportunities resulting in environmental and economic benefits at all levels of life in Missouri.
