Business Waste Minimisation Fund open
24 September 2018
Waipa District Council has $10,000 available to support businesses who want to reduce single-use waste in their workplace.
The funds are distributed by Council through the Ministry for the Environment's Waste Levy.
Waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said Council is looking for projects with an emphasis on innovative solutions for eliminating or reducing waste in the Waipā district.
The fund aims to help businesses reduce or remove single-use items from their businesses and encourage the use of reusable products, she said.
Funding will assist the business community to start their waste minimisation journey and ultimately reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. We want great ideas from businesses in Waipā that will stop a single-use product being generated.
Funding is available to businesses that operate with the Waipā district. A grant of up to $2,000 is available for each successful project.
Applications for the Business Waste Minimisation Fund must be received by 5pm, Sunday 21 October 2018.
