CALIFORNIA
Recycling is big business in the Golden State. To encourage more
manufacturers to create products from materials that would normally
end up in landfills, California has created 40 Recycling Market
Development Zones.
The zones operate like enterprise zones. Companies locating
there can take advantage of incentives offered by utility companies
and local governments. Manufacturing firms that create a
value-added product from recyclable materials enjoy an extra
advantage: They can apply for low-interest loans for equipment,
property, refinancing debt or working capital. The loans can be for
no more than 50 percent of the total cost of a project up to $1
million.

Both start-up and established firms can benefit from the zones,
which have a 10-year life span. In addition to paper, aluminum,
glass and plastic, the program is open to any product traditionally
put into the state's waste stream.
