Value from Food Waste funding call

Value from Food Waste is now open for applications, with a closing date of 26^th March 2020.

Small-scale grants will be awarded to support collaborative pilot projects that trial and test new processes and ideas which can demonstrate the commercial potential of biochemical processing options for high-volume challenging / hard-to-tackle streams of wasted food. The overall intention is to ensure that such food remains useful and retains value, preventing it from being sent for disposal and becoming waste.

With a total funding of £500,000 available, individual projects will be granted between £20,000 and £100,000 to fund both revenue and capital expenditure costs.

To be eligible, projects must be based in England. Applicants must demonstrate the project will involve a collaboration between industry and a research organisation (university or research institute). The lead applicant can be either entity.

Applications opened on Thursday 30^th January and close at 1pm on Thursday 26^th March. Wrap aims to notify applicants of the results in the week commencing 25^th May 2020.
