Hi Sam,
It sounds like IRIS has a great technology on its hands. I'm not so sure
about the marketing side. But as far as sources of investment and
perhaps overall assistance with a business plan, I'd try the following
EPA's Jobs Through Recycling Program

The Social Venture Network
http://www.svn.org/
The Sustainable Jobs Fund
http://www.sjfund.com
Now the fourth largest community development venture capital fund in the
US, the fund has $17 million to invest in sustainable enterprises that
create jobs for low income individuals.
Amy Perlmutter at the Chelsea Center in Massachusetts may also have
ideas. See her address above.
I suspect Gary Liss would also have some good suggestions. Also see
above.
Good luck and please share your progress with members of GreenYes.
