WA Government invests $1 million in nine e-waste recycling initiatives
WasteSorted e-Waste Grants from the New Industries Fund will support job creation in the recycling industry
The McGowan Government has invested $1 million in nine initiatives which when fully implemented, will divert approximately 1,000 tonnes of e-waste annually from landfill in Western Australia.
Innovation and ICT Minister Dave Kelly and Environment Minister Stephen Dawson today announced the recipients of the WasteSorted e-Waste grants program which is funded from the New Industries Fund.
Combined funding of $600,000 was allocated to Curtin University, CSIRO and Epichem for research and development programs that will support new and innovative solutions to process collected e-waste and reduce the amount of e-waste ending up in landfill.
