The fund was apparently intended to provide concessional loans to manufacturers of recycled products whose processes involved energy efficiency or carbon emission reduction measures, he said. "So while Australia is in need of meaningful and timely action from the government, all we get is delay and repackaging."COAG ministers agreed last month to ban a range of waste exportsA spokesman for Energy Minister Angus Taylor said the government remained committed to creating the fund and had "consulted with the CEFC on its design with a view to it being available shortly".
