Grants

[sparkright]

We have been operating a IT recycling company now for over a year and now wish to expand into Cathode ray tube recycling and plastic cases.
Does anyone know of any grants we can apply for machinary hear in Scotland.
I would have thought that recycling would have been well suported as for the amount of recycling we do (this year alone 120 ton) we put nothing into landfill, but without help we could soon be closing down.
Loans are too expensive and our turnover isnt high enough to get a lone the size we would need.
Can anyone help?

"Not sure what might be available in Scotland, but WRAP certainly grant funds some resuse and recycling initiatives in England."

Actually I found a website called Green Grants Machine that offers free information on lots of fundign that is available to make businesses green. Take a look on that website to see if they have any funds available for what you're looking for as it may be useful!
