Capital grants are being made available to support ambitious businesses to create new waste recycling capacity in South East of England by investing in new waste treatment and reprocessing equipment.
Last year, EnviroBusiness ran a highly successful competition for grants through their ‘Invest in Recycling’ initiative. Through the scheme, five businesses received substantial funding enabling them to invest in new equipment to grow their recycling or reprocessing activities. These ranged from Woodhorn Group, a composting business in Sussex, to PPR Wipag, a plastics recycler in Kent and Impact Recycling a commercial waste management company in Kent.
This autumn, capital grants of up to £134,0003 are once again being made available. Funded by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA), the purpose of the grants is to accelerate investments into all types of waste recycling and reprocessing activities. When awarding the grant funds, particular priority will be placed on investments that will enable increased recovery of construction and demolition wastes, paper, cardboard and organic material such as food wastes.
