EPA Awards Nearly $1.2M to Three California Small Businesses to Research Environmental Issues and Help Grow the Green Economy


 

This week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing almost $1.2 million in research funding to three California small businesses to further develop and commercialize their environmental technologies. The funding comes through the agency¡¯s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant program.


¡°California¡¯s small businesses are leaders in creating innovative and practical zero waste solutions that have far-reaching benefits for communities,¡± said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Martha Guzman. ¡°These companies¡¯ efforts to bring their technologies to market will advance the circular economy while reducing waste that ends up in a landfill and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.¡±


Each year, EPA issues an SBIR solicitation for technology proposals for targeted environmental topics. The SBIR program consists of two phases of funding. The companies announced today earlier received Phase I contracts of up to $100,000 for six months during the ¡°proof of concept¡± of their proposed technologies. Now, for this Phase II announcement, companies are awarded up to $400,000 to further develop and commercialize their technologies.


This year¡¯s SBIR Phase II award recipients in California are:


Hydrova Inc. (Santa Ana; $400,000) - A novel process to recover resources and produce hydrogen from secondary aluminum processing waste. The technology transforms traditionally landfilled wastes into valuable products that can be reused by the aluminum and cement industries.


"The EPA's Phase II grant will support the commercialization of Hydrova's DrossZero¢â systems,¡± said Julian Davis, CEO of Hydrova Inc. ¡°By closing the loop in the aluminum industry, Hydrova is furthering the United States' leadership in advanced recycling technologies."


Kamilo, Inc. (San Francisco; $399,989) - Digital verification of the percentage of recycled content in individual products to advance plastic circularity. Kamilo¡¯s patented geospatial technology tracks waste plastic. This project will expand the ability to calculate the percentage of recycled content in products and convey this information with a Kamilo ¡°TrustMark¡± verification label supporting regulatory compliance and substantiating marketing claims. 


¡°We are thrilled to be recognized by EPA for our innovative technologies and for the opportunity to make a real impact on U.S. recycling and plastic circularity,¡± said Anna-Marie Cook, CEO of Kamilo, Inc. ¡°Thanks to the EPA SBIR program we are ready to commercialize our Kamilo % Recycled Content TrustMark."


Zabble Inc. (Walnut Creek; $400,000) - An artificial intelligence-based (AI) tagging platform for contamination monitoring audits to improve recycling and composting. The AI powered platform enables jurisdictions to manage their lid flip or site visit programs end-to-end and measure the effectiveness of contamination reduction outreach campaigns.


¡°Our solution represents more than just streamlined, hassle-free operations; it embodies our commitment to turning AI from a buzzword into a tangible force that drives real progress for jurisdictions in California and beyond,¡± said Nik Balachandran, Founder and CEO of Zabble. ¡°With the invaluable support from the EPA, we've delved deep into the needs of waste and recycling managers, enabling them to create lasting impact—from reducing contamination systemwide to minimizing costs for taxpayers to lowering emissions for our planet.¡±
