AI Summary

This bill appropriates $23 million from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to provide a grant to the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association for establishing a wood upcycling campus. The campus will focus on transforming wood waste into various valuable products, including lumber, furniture, building materials, compost, mulch, biochar, and energy sources. Wood upcycling is an environmentally friendly process that repurposes discarded or unused wood materials that might otherwise be considered waste, creating new products and reducing the environmental impact of wood disposal. By supporting this initiative, the bill aims to promote sustainable waste management and resource recycling in the state of Minnesota.
