Grant fund

New funding for 2024:

£12,500 to introduce recycling in your area using the #InTheLoop toolkit

£12,500 to introduce or improve recycling in your area using the #InTheLoop toolkit.

 Hubbub is continuing to expand the #InTheLoop, with grant funding for two new projects to boost the opportunity to recycle on the go using the #InTheLoop toolkit.

With the Deposit Return Scheme continuing to be delayed, recycling on-the-go continues to be important service to help capture the billions of plastics and cans that are not recycled every year.

With over fifteen #InTheLoop projects to date, we’ve found a proven solution to increasing recycling when people are out and about, and want to see more towns and cities follow our blueprint.

Funding for the grant fund is provided by The Natural Source Waters Association
