The Scottish Government and Zero Waste Scotland grant funding to support infrastructure adaptations in response to COVID-19 Fund is now open. This funding is open to operators of licensed waste management facilities in Scotland involved in the management, recycling or reprocessing of recyclate working with household, commercial and industrial, and construction wastes.
A grant of up to £10,000 per site is available towards the capital costs for changes to infrastructure, plant and equipment that will contribute to an improvement in the operator’s ability to maintain environmental performance and sustainability while implementing the controls required to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Examples of possible modifications include the installation of Perspex screens, alterations to sorting lines or implementing traffic management on site.
