BANBURY - UK waste recycling charity WRAP is offering £1.5 million (US$1.75 million) in grants to support projects that provide innovative ways for textile waste to be recycled or re-used.
Grants of between £20,000 and £170,000 are available to organisations of any size, both commercial and not-for-profit, for schemes which keep more textiles out of landfill or incineration.
Beneficiaries will need to put up match funding - 10 per cent from not-for-profit and 50 per cent from commercial organisations - towards successful projects which will also need to demonstrate “innovation beyond normal practice”.
