For companies wishing to improve resource efficiency to reach, or go beyond environmental compliance, the following types of projects can be considered:

• Industrial waste recycling (e.g., plastics, acrylics).
• Waste reuse (e.g., vinasse recovery, alternative fuels).
• Wastewater recycling and reuse (e.g., recycle treated wastewater, treat/reuse municipal sewage for industrial process).
• Recovery and reuse of raw materials (e.g., paper fibre, solvents, ammonia).
• Process optimisation to reduce resource usage.
• Technical innovation to use less resources or extend product shelf life.

Projects for funding should:

• Comply with BAT measures/emission values.
• Meet relevant sector performance benchmarks.
• Result in a reduction of resource use.
• Be implemented in environmentally compliant industrial establishments.
• Implemented in an industrial facility operating for >2 years.
• Production increases should not exceed 10% of design capacity and
