Encourage the Development of Material Markets (5.M.5.)

Status Indicators: Complete | In Progress| Not Yet Started

To encourage the development of material markets, the City of Bozeman will partner with Montana State University or other research institutes to conduct a study to better understand full lifecycle economics of current household and construction waste practices, and identify ways to create new economic opportunities to move Bozeman toward a more circular economy. The City will also identify regional partners to engage in reuse, reduction, recycling, and other waste/purchasing/supply chain efforts.

  • The Economic Development Department supports the Southwest Montana Manufacturing Partnership and the Montana Photonics and Quantum Industry Alliance. Both organizations were involved in supply chain mapping exercises in 2024.
