Victorian Sustainabilty Recycling Program

Written by Elance

August 21, 2012

The Driving Investment for New Recycling program will provide approximately $3 million to increase the recovery of waste from commercial and industrial (C&I) and municipal waste sectors (MSW). This funding will target projects that:

  • significantly increases the recovery of valuable material and diverts it from landfill (minimum of 5,000 tonnes per annum)
  • creates new and sustainable employment, and
  • supports viable business and markets in Victoria that encourages private sector investment.

In particular, Round 2 will prioritise activities that:

  • sort and separate mixed C&I waste streams to recover recyclable material or develop refuse derived fuels
  • manage, treat or stabilise C&I-derived food organics, and
  • add significant recycling capacity (i.e. greater than 5,000 tonnes diverted per annum) to the C&I and MSW sectors.

Projects that address the priorities of the program and can demonstrate

  • significant recovery potential (i.e. in the order of 5,000 tonnes per annum or greater)
  • a high level of control over feed stock, for example through collection contracts or systems, and
  • have an established market for any end products will be considered for funding.

The Expressions of Interest need to be submitted by September 7.  The actual funding will be available middle of next year.
