Te Tahua Pūtea mō te Kirihou Auaha Plastics Innovation Fund - open for expressions of interest

The new $50M fund supports projects that find ways to use less plastic and make what we do use reusable or recyclable. 

The first funding round is open for expressions of interest until 30 June 2022.

The fund serves as a catalyst to mobilise resources to minimise plastic waste.

Any legal entity is eligible to apply including businesses, territorial authorities, and iwi and community organisations. We are keen to hear from organisations that could have high-impact solutions.
