Circular Return Infrastructure Grant Scheme

Malta Enterprise has launched the Circular Return Infrastructure Grant Scheme (the “Scheme”), aimed at supporting wholesalers and retailers in investing in reverse vending machines (“RVMs”) and comparable automated take-back solutions to facilitate the recovery of materials for recycling and reuse.

Eligible costs under the scheme include:

• Purchase (or finance lease) of new automated RVM units;
• Installation and commissioning costs (including delivery, positioning, calibration, initial testing and acceptance);
• ICT and software required for operation and reporting.

The aid is provided in the form of a cash grant capped at EUR 300,000 (subject to overall de minimis capping), with an aid intensity 50% of the eligible costs.

The deadline for submission of application is 31 August 2027.
