WRAP CAPITAL GRANT PROGRAMME LAUNCHED FOR FOOD WASTE RECYCLING FACILITIES

WRAP's (Waste & Resources Action Programme) Organics Capital Grant Programme VI has been launched to provide funding towards the development of ABPR-compliant composting, thermophilic aerobic digestion or anaerobic digestion facilities. Facilities funded may be new or extensions to existing sites.

To be eligible, you must be based in England, Northern Ireland or Scotland and be able to demonstrate that your project will divert organic waste from landfill (to include food waste) and will produce recycled product(s). WRAP can fund up to 30% of the capital set-up costs, which could include purchasing land, installing new infrastructure and buying individual pieces of equipment.
