The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is pleased to continue the Zero Waste Recycling Funding program in 2023, which seeks to increase the diversion of materials away from the Regional Landfill and to increase the recyclability of materials across regional, national and global markets while promoting and supporting the circular economy. Non-profit ventures that operate within the RDN are eligible to apply for funding through this program. The total amount made available through the Zero Waste Recycling Funding program in 2023 is $300,000.
The program is intended to stimulate innovation and develop markets and processes for end-of-life materials which will assist the region in meeting its 90 per cent waste reduction goal over the next 10 years.
