The fund assists businesses to improve the quality of materials recovered and increase the capacity and capability of Victoria’s resource recovery sector.

The Recycling Modernisation Fund is an Australian Government initiative that will invest over $190 million to expand Australia’s capacity to sort, process and remanufacture recycled materials such as mixed plastic, paper, tyres and glass. This will assist Australia to respond to the waste export ban. This funding will be distributed by state and territory governments.
For more information, visit the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment website.
Funding allocated to Victoria from the Recycling Modernisation Fund will be delivered via the Victorian Government’s Recycling Victoria Infrastructure Fund (RVIF). Sustainability Victoria is currently planning how state funding can be considered for co-investment with industry and this federal funding.
