MRA

MRA Consulting Group is proud to announce the appointment of Peter Shmigel to the role of Executive Consultant at MRA, responsible for corporate and council waste advisory services.

Federal Environment Minister Susan Ley supports standardised waste collection systems, including a common bin lid colour across Australia. We propose to also standardise the colour of the bin's body to maximise recycled plastic use.

More and more councils now collect FOGO at the kerbside. Will three bins become the new standard?

2020, the year of Covid, was a strange year. Although 2021 looks like it will still be weird, waste does not stop. So, what will the new year be like for Australia's waste sector?

MRA has turned 10. A big thank you to all of our clients, friends and colleagues for supporting MRA over these first ten years. We couldn't have done it without you. To mark the occasion, Mike Ritchie looks back on the key points of waste reform, highlighting our successes and identifying key targets for the future.

MRA Consulting Group is proud to announce Karinne Taylor, who is joining our Sydney Team as the Lead for Circular Economy.

MRA Consulting Group would like to wish you and your family a safe, happy and sustainable festive season. We thank you for your continued support in 2018 and look forward to working with you in 2019!

Inside Waste and the Waste Management Association of Australia are holding the inaugural Resource Recovery Excellence Awards and three of MRA's finest have made the final cut. While Mike has been nominated for 'Executive of the Year' in recognition of his sound decision-making, organisational impact and leadership in the broader community, both Nav and James are finalists in the 'Young Professional of the Year' category.

MRA is actively engaging in the waste management debate and this week has seen two of our own being extensively quoted on national newspapers. The Financial Review has reported on MRA's submission to the ACCC on the proposed merging of Bingo and DADI, quoting Mike Ritchie on the expected positive outcomes of the merger in terms of improved recovery rates for C&I waste in Sydney.
