Circular Economy Infrastructure Fund: Hazardous Waste – Funded projects

The Circular Economy Infrastructure Fund aims to assist businesses and local government to increase the capacity and capability of Victoria’s resource recovery sector and recover high quality products.

The hazardous waste stream funds projects that will achieve one or more of the following outcomes:

• Diversion of wastes from Category B landfill disposal.
• Increased diversion of low-level (Category C and D) contaminated soils (and spoils) from landfill disposal.
• Increased recovery of solvents and other hazardous wastes for reuse, recycling, or energy recovery.
• Improved management of hazardous wastes for reuse, recycling, or energy recovery; including short-term storage, and recovery or treatment facilities. Short-term storage infrastructure will only be funded for projects targeting both storage and recovery infrastructure.

When completed, the 5 funded projects are expected to generate new full time equivalent jobs and increase resource recovery capacity for hazardous wastes in Victoria.

These grants were part of the Recycling Victoria policy funding.
