Grants announced for recycling innovation

The Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre (CEBIC) is delivering its second round of the Recycling Victoria Innovation Fund on behalf of the Victorian Government.

With $750,000 available in funding to support collaborative projects that design out waste to improve Victoria's environmental and economic outcomes.

CEIBC is seeking applications for projects that act within the 'make phase' or the 'use phase' of the resource lifecycle in a circular economy.

Types of solutions that may be considered include those proposing products that use fewer materials and are designed to be more durable, repairable, recyclable, and projects that help extend the life of products or support the reuse and repair economy.

They are taking applications for:

Textiles Innovation – This stream will provide grants of between $75,000 and $150,000 for collaborative projects that explore, test and/or demonstrate innovative circular solutions that design out textile waste in the make phase or use phase.

Collaborative Innovation – This stream will provide grants of between $150,000 and $250,000 for collaborative projects that explore, test and/or demonstrate innovative circular solutions that design out waste in the make phase or use phase from multiple organisations within a specified supply chain, sector or region.

Successful applicants' projects must be innovative, something that has never been done previously in Victoria.
