Tender Description

The Circular Economy Northern Territory (CENT) program aims to address critical gaps in the Territory’s waste management and resource recovery system.


The $1.5 million grant program aims to attract private sector investment to develop transformational recycling infrastructure and strengthen the circular economy industry as a contributor to the Territory’s vision to achieve a $40 billion economy by 2030.

The competitive grant program offers funding support of minimum $50,000 on 1:1 co-contribution basis for large scale projects to divert recyclable waste materials from landfill through the re-use, recycling or remanufacturing of waste into high-value products.

  • construction and demolition (C&D)
  • food organics and garden organics (FOGO)
