The Closed Loop Foundation (CL Foundation) has released a “Food Waste Solution Search Request for Proposal.” The CL Foundation supports solutions that improve the waste and recycling industry and recently launched a Food Waste Initiative. This initiative supports the ReFED report, A Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste by 20 Percent.

This Food Waste Solution Request-for-Proposal (RFP) is to support entrepreneurs, companies and projects that could reduce wasted food at a large scale. The RFP has three funding categories including prevention and diversion, recovery, and recycling.

Submissions are due August 12, 2016.
