Capital grants
Closing date: 31 March 11
Supported by the Scottish Government, the overall aim of the programme is to stimulate investment in Scotland in additional collection infrastructure and associated processing equipment specifically to deal with the non-inert fractions of mixed waste from Construction and Demolition sources and to process the material for use in a broad range of applications.
WRAP Scotland is launching a grant scheme designed to improve infrastructure for the reuse of household goods by community projects across Scotland.
The key purpose of this programme is to provide financial assistance to increase the quantity, variety and quality of mixed plastics collected from the municipal waste stream and processed for onward sale / reprocessing by investment in new processes and equipment and associated infrastructure.
This funding programme is aimed specifically at improving the collection, recovery, recycling and / or re-use capacity of household and commercial and industrial wastes and infrastructure within the community sector across Scotland in order to push material up the waste hierarchy.
Zero Waste Scotland is launching a £5 million capital grant programme on behalf of the Scottish Government to develop plastics reprocessing infrastructure in Scotland.
The programme can provide financial assistance towards facilities capable of sorting, recycling and reprocessing a range of plastic waste, thereby diverting a minimum of 20,000 additional tonnes from landfill per annum.
The Programme has been designed to help support the Government’s target of halving waste to landfill by 2012 by providing capital support for investment in processing capacity to enable the construction industry to recycle their waste arisings rather than dispose of them to landfill.
WRAP Cymru are launching a grant scheme designed to significantly increase recycling rates in Wales by providing financial support to organisations which are able to offer specialist recycling services for Welsh SMEs
Due to reduced Government funding for Regional Development Agencies, including Advantage West Midlands, all new grant funding and business development support on the WRAP AWM programme has been suspended until further notice.
We will not be accepting new applications at this time.
