Recycling grants for textiles waste
26/03/2020
The grant money will total £1.5 million, awarded in increments between £20,000 and £170,000. It is available to organisations of any size, both commercial and not-for-profit, and can be used only on capital expenditure only — including equipment or technologies, but excluding software and apps.
Match funding is required; commerical organisations are required to match 50%, while not-for-profits must match 10%. Successful projects, WRAP said, must demonstrate innovation that goes beyond conventional practices.
“We’re looking for really imaginative solutions to the barriers to textile recycling and re-use, such as new technologies, interventions or equipment that hasn’t been tried and tested before,” said Peter Maddox, director of WRAP UK. “We have had a tremendous response to previous Resource Action Fund grant funding offers, and I confidently expect a similar level of quality applications for this offer.”
