WRAP and AWM (Advantage West Midlands) are working in partnership to develop the commercial and industrial waste recycling sector in the West Midlands.

The WRAP – AWM Programme gives recycling businesses in the region an opportunity to benefit from funding and practical support.

The programme is an exclusive package of support worth £4.97 million, including grants, practical advice and business development services.

Delivered by WRAP on behalf of AWM, the Programme has been designed to increase the capacity and scope of recycling services dealing with commercial and industrial waste.

Mark Pearce, Corporate Director for Economic Regeneration at Advantage West Midlands, said

‘ The West Midlands produced the country’s first low carbon economic strategy and the WRAP -AWM initiative shows how we are coming up with innovative solutions for tomorrow to make the low carbon era become a reality’

Firms which will apply for the programme to grant funding to help pay for new or expanded waste processing capacity, might well improve their services and that what will guaranty a reduction is waste and increase in recycling, in the region.
