Transforming waste into opportunity
12 February 2025
Reducing landfill and strengthening northern Tasmania's circular economy is at the forefront of Circular North’s 2025 Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Grants.
Launched today, the 2025 grant program offers a total funding pool of $50,000, with $10,000 available for eligible individual applications.
Circular North Steering Committee Chair John Marik said by supporting forward-thinking solutions, the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Grants drive positive change in the community.
“These grants are not just about funding projects, they're about catalysing a fundamental shift in how we view and use resources. Supporting innovative circular economy initiatives paves the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for northern Tasmania,” Mr Marik said.
“The transition to a circular economy is not a choice, it’s a necessity. Through these grants, we're empowering local businesses and communities to be leaders in change, turning challenges into opportunities.”
