The Textile Services Association (TSA) has advised its members of a new funding scheme available to them through the Carbon Trust. Textile care businesses could qualify for a project grant from £150k to £750k if they pair with a technology supplier.
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, (BEIS) is funding a new £9.2 million Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA), which is being run by The Carbon Trust to strengthen the global competitiveness of British industry.
The IEEA programme seeks innovations that will have the largest cross-sectoral impact on industrial energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. The IEEA aims to lower costs and increase numbers of available energy efficient technologies across all UK industry sectors, including textile care.
Up to 20 projects will be co-funded with grants from £150k – £750k per project.
Upcoming workshops: Sign-up for workshops here: 16 August, Manchester; 24 August, London; 7 September, Glasgow ;13 September, Birmingham .
