NEA boosts environmental services with a $90m productivity grant

Companies can apply for the grant until 31 March 2027.

The environmental services (ES) industry received a $90 million funding boost from the National Environment Agency (NEA) through the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG).

In addition to the increased funding, NEA has published an updated list of eligible equipment and solutions.

Companies may apply for the grant until 31 March 2027.

NEA first made the grant available to the environmental services industry in September 2018, with a $30m allocation.

Since then, NEA has approved about 2,000 applications and completely fulfilled the initial funding set aside for the ES industry.

The grant supported the transformation of more than 600 companies to adopt equipment technologies and digital solutions such as floor cleaners and scrubbers, autonomous and ride-on sweepers, smart litter bins, handheld mini 2-in-1 vacuum and scrubbers, and steam cleaners.
