The Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre (CEBIC) has announced the Recycling Victoria Business Support Fund – Stream 2: Implementation Grants Program.
The Fund will primarily target waste prevention and reuse/remanufacture. Innovative recycling approaches will also be supported, where they develop new recycling markets in Victoria.
The Stream 2: Implementation Grants Program is for individual applicants or collaborative partnerships to implement solutions across one or multiple businesses. These grants will support the business to implement evidence-based circular economy business opportunities and approaches in Victoria.
The Fund’s objective is for businesses to:
- identify opportunities for businesses to take advantage of circular economy opportunities and approaches in Victoria
- increase uptake of circular economy opportunities and approaches, to accelerate Victoria’s transition to a circular economy.
The grants seek to deliver the following outcomes for Victoria:
- increased access to circular economy products and services for businesses and consumers
- increased materials efficiency within individual businesses and across supply chains
- increased duration of product and material lifecycles and value
- reduced materials intensity of a product, service or business model
- new circular economy-based services, products, models, and markets
