Our experience across the industry includes providing advice to help our clients:


  • Drive circular economy outcomes through offering our significant experience in measuring and analysing actions and policies, from individual organisations to regions and state economies.
  • Develop waste strategies that help achieve resource recovery targets through undertaking baseline assessments to understand current waste flows, revenues and costs, and developing forward looking waste management strategies.
  • Increase recycling rates through advising on projects that consider the whole value chain of materials from product design, collection and sorting through to processing and end market uses with experience across container deposit schemes, glass, plastics, paper, and tyres.
  • Enhance recovery of organic materials through assessing the feasibility, economic costs, and benefits of introducing new or upgraded organics processing infrastructure, as well as helping to procure projects that will increase organics recovery and support landfill diversion.
  • Develop pragmatic solutions for truly residual waste through advising on infrastructure projects that seek to manage and process residual waste including potential alternatives to landfill - with a particular focus on Waste to Energy projects – or otherwise target responsible waste disposal.
