Remanufacture NSW - Stream 2 - Trails Projects

Remanufacture NSW Round 2 offers funding to support the NSW resource recovery sectors response to changes brought about by the decision to ban the export of unbeneficiated waste plastic, paper, cardboard and tyres. Remanufacture NSW ensures New South Wales leads by example and maximises recycling and reuse activities and keeps materials within the productive economy.

The program targets the following waste materials subject to the export ban:

• plastic
• paper
• cardboard
• tyres

Under Stream 2, innovative trials to address plastic, paper, cardboard and tyres will be co-funded, and include, but are not limited to:

• trials that support the reuse of the waste export ban materials listed above.
• trials that aim to increase the capacity of manufacturers to use recycled material in their products and to provide secure markets for these recycled materials (examples include new/modified equipment to increase the use of recycled materials, such as post-consumer plastic, in the manufacture of goods or products).
• trials that test new infrastructure/equipment to sort, wash, dry, shred, flake, granulate or pelletise materials
• trials that test equipment upgrades or process improvements to existing MRFs to increase the quality of output materials, reduce contamination and/or increase capacity.
• trials that test upgrading plastic sorting, processing and manufacture technology to produce cleaner streams of plastic and have the potential to use larger amounts of recycled plastics.
• trials that test new methods of paper beneficiation so that local paper mills can accept higher volumes of paper and cardboard.
• trials that test new methodologies or technologies to process Liquid Paper Board.
• trials that test plastic processing, remanufacturing and new applications for recycled plastics.
• trials that test mobile processing equipment.
• trials that use new technologies or methods to reuse or recycle end-of-life tyres.
