What kind of projects won’t be supported by Queensland?

The following projects will not be considered:

• projects that are predominantly waste-to-energy (energy from waste) or waste-to-fuel are not eligible for funding. A project will only be considered for funding where waste-to-fuel or waste-to-energy is incidental to, or a by-product of, a process that is primarily designed to achieve plastics circularity
• projects that have already commenced or are planned to commence, regardless of financial support from government, for example:
  • your organisation is already contracted to provide the infrastructure or service that is proposed, or to supply the recovered resources that are proposed to be produced by the project
  • funding has been approved and committed to the project, regardless of the financial incentive
  • construction has commenced or contracts have been executed for supply/construction of the facility
• projects not directly resulting in new infrastructure investment, for example, education and behaviour change programs, market development, strategy development, and feasibility studies
• projects already funded by grants for the same project costs
• projects that do not address plastics recycling.
