The project will directly contribute to the reduction of carbon emission and solid waste that would otherwise be disposed of in landfills.
EPA's P3 program features a unique competition that offers teams of college students hands-on experience to turn their creative design and engineering ideas into reality, while also helping solve real-world environmental challenges.
The 16 recipients announced today will receive grants of up to $75,000 to fund a two-year project.
Students will propose innovative and sustainable ideas and concepts and carry them through the research, design and demonstration stages.
During the second year of the award, student teams will have the opportunity to showcase their designs at EPA’s National Student Design Expo.
