Interested in turning your ideas into innovative solutions? We’re looking for innovators, entrepreneurs, and startups that will transform waste into a valuable resource. Enter our fourth annual competition where the winners receive $20,000 and an opportunity to take part in a pilot project alongside the WPWMA, turning your idea or startup into reality.

The WPWMA is shifting the historical dynamic of linear solid waste management – take, make, and dispose of – to a new model of circular resource management, where old products become new products in perpetuity. In short, we are searching for real value in the waste stream of Placer County, and we’re collaborating with partners to expedite that commitment.

WPWMA ਪਾਵਰ ਦੇ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਸਰਕੂਲਰ ਇਕਾਨਮੀ ਇਨੋਵੇਸ਼ਨ ਮੁਕਾਬਲਾ, managed by the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State, for its fourth year. The competition invites innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs to turn materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill, into repurposed value. We are seeking innovations that utilize recoverable waste products and allow WPWMA to:
