EPA & MRA Consulting Resources Explained

For businesses aiming to enhance sustainability, navigate waste regulations, or access funding, EPA guidance and MRA Consulting materials offer practical support. These resources include grants, planning tools, policy insights, and technical advice — from waste audits to circular economy strategies.

What the Resources Offer

  • EPA Grants & Programs (NSW example):

    • The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) runs initiatives like the Waste Less Recycle More (WLRM) program — supporting councils, businesses, and NGOs with funding for recycling infrastructure and industrial ecology programs (e.g., Circulate Industrial Ecology grants).

  • MRA Consulting Services & Insights:

    • Services offered include waste strategy, resource recovery consulting, waste management planning, approvals (EPL, DA, EIS), auditing, organics strategy, and economics modeling

    • MRA provides thought leadership in recycling, grants, circular economy, and policy analysis via their blog and resources sections 

Why These Are Valuable for Businesses

  • Grant Access: Businesses can tap into EPA programs offering funding for infrastructure upgrades or sustainability initiatives (e.g., Bin Trim, composting facility enhancements). 

  • Planning & Compliance Support: MRA can help prepare Waste Management Plans, environmental approvals, and strategies tailored to business needs.

  • Strategic Insight: MRA’s research and policy publications offer data-driven guidance — e.g., recycling infrastructure capacity, circular economy metrics, and regulatory trends.

How to Use These Resources Effectively

  1. Identify your needs: Are you designing new recycling infrastructure, auditing your waste streams, or seeking funding?

  2. Explore EPA grants: Check EPA websites for current programs like waste infrastructure or circular economy funding.

  3. Engage with MRA: Use their services for planning, compliance, and strategic support—plus access their publications for insights.
