The Resource Recovery Infrastructure Fund supports Victoria’s resource recovery sector to improve its capability and capacity to recover and reprocess higher-value priority materials to a commercial grade (enabling supply to more local and international markets) and to support manufacturing and other processes that use recycled materials. The program focuses on priority materials, plastic, paper, and cardboard. Round 4 has up to $4million allocated to infrastructure grants. Applications for grants of between $40,000 and $500,000 are now open to industry and local government for projects that meet the resource recovery project outputs. The grants will support the costs of pre-engineering, procurement and acquiring reprocessing equipment, implementing new processes and infrastructure to support greater sorting, improve recovery, decontamination, and reprocessing of plastic, paper and cardboard waste materials. Grants will support tooling costs or other manufacturing requirements that can increase use of recycled content in manufacturing
