About

Albert van Oostrom

I have over 40 years' experience in waste management research and consulting, both in New Zealand and internationally. I specialise in managing organic wastes and odour from primary production and processing industries.

For 14 years I worked as a scientist and consultant in the Environmental Management Team at MIRINZ Food Technology and Research Ltd, formerly the Meat Industry Research Institute of New Zealand, where I held a leadership position for five years.

In October 1999, I established my own consulting practice, providing waste management services to meat processing companies and other clients.

If you are looking for a better way to manage waste from your industrial process, contact me to discuss how I can help.
