Sustainability Victoria’s Circular Economy Innovation Fund (CEIF) encourages businesses to unlock some of their innovative ideas to be part of a greater circular economy transition.
Round 4: Capability Building of the initiative prioritises raising circular economy awareness amongst stakeholders and driving training for businesses to embed these practices into their operations and supply chains.
Let’s talk funding
The grant offers generous funding of between $50,000 and $400,000 on a $1:$4 contribution ratio. Co-contributions can be either financial or in-kind.
Outcomes for your business
The funding, enables businesses to accelerate their circular practices and products and grow a competitive edge, particularly as we approach net zero, where customers and clients seek businesses that can demonstrate environmental credentials.
The grant supports early adopters as they grow new product lines, find new business opportunities, increase jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition away from seeing products end up in landfill. It rewards businesses that have great ideas on ways to embed sustainable practices but may lack the resources to practically action them.
