Indiana State Materials Management Plan

The Indiana State Materials Management Plan (MMP) aims to provide a statewide roadmap to improve how pre- and post-consumer materials are managed and reduce waste across the state. Input solicited during the planning process will be instrumental in developing a new comprehensive MMP that promotes a circular economy for materials while supporting statewide efforts to advance pre- and post-consumer materials management.
