Grant News
Material Focus, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation, is offering £750,000 in grants to support projects that make it easier for people to reuse and recycle old and unwanted small household electricals. The Electricals Recycling Fund aims to grow existing collection methods or test new creative approaches for recycling household electricals.
Applicants can apply for up to £100,000 for projects seeking to grow or develop existing household collection services, while innovative new approaches can receive up to £50,000 in funding. The grant is open to a wide range of registered organisations, including charities, local authorities, waste partnerships, private waste contractors, other private companies, and compliance schemes.
The purpose of the grant is to reduce the environmental impact of waste electricals by making it easier for people to reuse and recycle. Material Focus is particularly interested in projects that will test creative, practical, and scalable new methods for collecting electricals that could deliver significant environmental benefits.
The Electricals Recycling Fund is open for applications on a rolling basis, with no set deadline for submissions. Interested organisations can apply at any time through the Material Focus website. The application process involves completing an expression of interest form, including an estimate of expected collection capacity and anticipated collections.
