Milton Keynes City Council has awarded grants from its Green Business Fund to five local organisations. The fund offers up to 25,000 pounds per project to help businesses cut waste, lower energy use, and reduce carbon emissions. One project focuses on industrial symbiosis, turning manufacturing or construction waste into resources for other companies. Others include community-owned rooftop solar on commercial buildings, carbon literacy training, and software to help up to 1,000 businesses measure their carbon footprint. Council cabinet member Cllr Jenny Wilson-Marklew said the projects support practical steps like solar energy and smarter resource use. She noted that ongoing energy price volatility makes it more important for businesses to manage their energy use. The funding aims to cut emissions, reduce costs, and build a more sustainable local economy. The article lists all five awarded projects and their specific goals.
