Aims
This program is aimed at accelerating and stimulating investment in waste and recycling infrastructure to help meet the NSW 2021 recycling targets.
The program is designed to fund major resource recovery facilities that can increase recycling of waste materials from households and businesses in a cost-effective manner.
Priority will be given to proposals that focus on
- recovery of recyclables from sorted and unsorted waste from business and households
- reuse, recycling and reprocessing of recyclable materials from business and households such as plastics, timber, paper, cardboard, consumer packaging and tyres
- processing, stabilisation and energy recovery from residual business and household waste
