Graham Osborn, Principal Ecologist at Severn Trent, said: “What’s good for nature is good for water and we’re open to any ideas, but the more creative the better!

Grants available: £8,000
Deadline to apply: 17 March

The #IntheLoop fund will support two new projects with £8,000 to introduce or improve their recycling infrastructure. It aims to support local authorities and other organisations to boost out-of-home recycling in public places. The fund is available to any organisation in the UK. Gavin Ellis, co-founder of Hubbub, said: “Recycling on the go continues to be a significant challenge, with less than half of local authorities currently having on-street recycling systems. Previous #InTheLoop trials have helped us define an effective approach to out of home recycling, so we’re delighted that additional funding from McDonald’s will enable two more organisations to trial #InTheLoop interventions in their area to help address littering, boost recycling rates and reduce waste sent to landfill or incineration.”
When will you hear back?
Early April.
