3R Fund
The 3R Fund is a co-funding scheme administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA) to encourage organisations to reduce waste disposed of at NEA's incineration plants and disposal facilities through the implementation of waste minimisation and recycling projects. The fund supports practical, implementation-level projects that result in measurable reductions in waste. The fund prioritises projects with new and innovative processes and concepts, particularly those targeting waste streams with low recycling rates such as food, plastic, and glass waste. Projects can include redesigning production processes, installing recycling infrastructure, implementing innovative waste sorting systems, and upgrading operations to reduce waste or increase recycling volumes.
