MRA Consulting Group today announces that Dr Ron Wainberg has joined the MRA team.
Ron will take on the role of Technical Director in MRA, responsible for business development, consulting services and training.
Wainberg said “MRA is young and exciting. They have been a tough competitor over the last few years. I am really keen to join a small and dynamic team.”
“And they are growing rapidly. I am keen to be part of that journey.” he said.
Mike Ritchie, the Director of MRA, said “I am delighted to welcome Ron to the MRA team. He is without doubt the most experienced waste consultant in Australia. His contribution will be enormous both in terms of knowledge but also his role as a mentor to the team.”

They consult in the areas of strategy, planning, policy, engineering, economics, education and auditing.

New policy settings are emerging all over Australia, including in Energy from waste, Container Deposits, Product Stewardship, levies and grants, infrastructure planning, and strategies at the State and local level. There is change everywhere you look.
“There will be plenty for Ron to do.” Ritchie said.
