Garth Lamb

 

Garth Lamb was hauled into the waste game as the editor of Inside Waste magazine, before moving to Hyder Consulting where he headed up Australia’s leading team of strategic waste advisors. Having worked with all levels of government, and private sector operators, he understands the complexities and challenges around sustainable waste management…and he knows we can and must do more to stop trashing our precious natural resources.

In 2014 he decided it was time to get his hands dirty and took up a post with Re.Group, an Australian company that specialises in building and operating infrastructure to recover resources from waste – part of the critical infrastructure required in any modern society.

While Re.Group is involved in recycling “yellow bin” household material, as well as developing enclosed facilities for composting “green bin” organics, Garth is especially passionate about facilities that process “red bin” mixed waste in order to manufacture a range of useful products, and massively reduce the need to bury valuable resources in landfill.
