In 1990, the Missouri General Assembly directed the Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority (EIERA) to establish the Missouri Market Development Program to promote developing and maintaining markets for recovered materials and recycled content products throughout Missouri. Recycling market development helps ensure that recycling will expand its role in a sustainable economy. Growth in the recycling market creates jobs, conserves resources, contributes to a cleaner environment and reduces reliance on Missouri’s landfills for disposal of solid waste.

The Missouri Market Development Program promotes market development by providing financial incentives, technical assistance and informational services to businesses, governments and other organizations. Since 1992, the program has assisted more than 200 Missouri companies make effective use of materials recovered from household and industrial waste, such as:

- Many other materials
The program’s assistance enabled these companies to divert thousands of tons of waste, create hundreds of jobs, and realize higher profits. For more information about the program, please review our fact sheet and annual report.
