The Recycling Victoria Infrastructure Fund commits new funding to target infrastructure for priority materials, such as paper and cardboard, plastic, glass and hazardous solvent waste.

There is $11.5 million available for infrastructure to improve the recycling of solvents.

Expressions of interest for both grants must be received by 3pm, 8 May 2020.
