The Binational Recycling Market Development Zone is a one-year project designed to explore the feasibility of creating a Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) in Tijuana which would be similar to those sponsored by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. This Zone would work cooperatively with the City of San Diego's Southern RMDZ which is currently located in Otay Mesa. The goal of both Zones is to entice environmental businesses that use recycled materials as feedstock to locate in this region. This would create an additional market for materials generated locally as well as contribute to the economic development of both cities.
