FOA BOTTLE: Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep

Thermoplastics out of Landlls and the Environment

announcement to support high-impact research and

development for plastics by developing new plastics

that are capable of efficient recyclability and improving

recycling strategies that can break existing plastics

into chemical building blocks that can be used to make

higher-value products.

Deadline: June 18, 2020.

Funds: $25 million for up to 10 awards ranging from $1.5

million to $2.5 million.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-prot

organizations, including small businesses; nonprot

organizations; state, local, special district and Native

American tribal governments; and qualied individuals;

among others.

Areas: DOE said topic areas include: Highly Recyclable

or Biodegradable Plastics, to develop new plastics

that have improved performance attributes over a

comparable existing plastic that can be cost-effectively

recycled or biodegrade completely in the environment or

in compost facilities; Novel Methods for Deconstructing

and Upcycling Existing Plastics, to generate energy-

efficient recycling technologies (mechanical, chemical or

biological) that are capable of breaking plastic streams

into intermediates that can be upgraded into higher-

value products; and BOTTLE Consortium Collaborations

to Tackle Challenges in Plastic Waste, to create

collaborations with the BOTTLE Laboratory Consortium

to further the long-term goals of the Consortium and the
