Recycling and Jobs Fund – Industry Call

Industry call for large-scale, high-recovery recycling projects

On the 31 May 2024, the Queensland Government made a call to industry for large-scale, high-recovery recycling projects that will make a material impact to Queensland’s waste diversion targets and support the state’s transition to a circular economy. This was an initiative under the Queensland Resource Recovery Industries 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan and supported delivery of the Queensland Government’s Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy.

Expressions of interest closed on 28 November 2024. Applications are currently being assessed.

The program aims to support new, improved and/or expanded infrastructure, technology, machinery and/or capital equipment that will result in high-volume reprocessing or recycling of materials. Industry call focus areas:

• Mixed commercial and industrial waste streams
• Renewable energy infrastructure
• End-of-life electrical and electronic products and batteries

Applicants have been able to apply for financial assistance of up to $10 million (excluding GST) to a maximum of 50% of the total eligible project cost. $45 million was initially allocated to this program.
