West Midlands Low Carbon and Circular Economy Innovation Fund

The West Midlands Low Carbon and Circular Economy Innovation Fund  fund has been designed to support the development of collaborative projects between West Midlands’ based businesses that can help the deployment of environmentally sustainable approaches and practices in the region’s food and drink manufacturing
businesses.

Projects seeking funding are expected to fulfil one of the following themes:
• Implementing circular economy principles for food waste in food and drink
manufacturing
• Decarbonisation of food and drink manufacturing processes
• Sustainable packaging in food and drink manufacturing
• Low Carbon approaches (all sectors)

Projects should be based at a location in the West Midlands; this could either be at the facilities
of a business here, to improve the operations of a business based in the West Midlands, or
the supply chain of a business based in the Midlands.

The project will open for applications during the Greater Birmingham and Solihull annual
conference in the early autumn 2021.
