Questions and answers
RFI - Construction and Demolition Material Recovery

MARC is reimagining the potential of waste in the Kansas City region by developing a material recovery plan that retains low‑cost, low‑carbon, durable materials and supports a more resilient, self‑reliant regional economy. To build a full circular economy ecosystem — particularly around construction, demolition and deconstruction materials — MARC seeks to identify partners across the value chain who can help drive business growth, job creation and access to recovered materials.
