Circular Economy Markets Fund: Organics

The Circular Economy Markets Fund: Organics supported end markets for recycled organic products through a $2 million support package that aimed to remove barriers and accelerate a sustained increase in the adoption of these products.

Kerbside reform and the improved recovery of commercial and industrial organic waste created an increased supply of recycled organic products. The fund supported the sustainable growth of end markets including agriculture, urban and amenity (for example, parks and gardens), and roadside amenity (for example roadside rehabilitation) to utilise the increased supply of better-quality Recycled Organic Products.

For the purposes of this grant, the term 'organic' refers to organic waste diverted from landfill.

This grant was funded through the government’s circular economy policy, Recycling Victoria: a new economy.

Prior to 1 July 2022, this fund was named the Recycling Victoria Organics Markets Fund.
