 “To Save The Planet We Gotta Save the Soil” – The Honourable Michael Jeffrey 11 December 2013 

  Paul Cross has over two decades experience in the waste and environmental sectors. Paul has held senior management roles contracting to the industry's most respected 

companies.

 Inspired by Major Michael Jeffrey, Paul’s passion has gravitated to the enhancement of healthy soils and healthy plant growth supporting food production for human nutrition. 

Paul combines a “customer first” focus with the necessary commercial understanding to develop tailored solutions for re-purposing of food organics while maintaining a focus on waste avoidance and the circular economy for all waste and recycling.

   • Fit for Purpose Solutions for Individual Sustainability Models

• Future Proof

• Enhance Value for Money

• 80% Diversion

• Ensure Traceability from Waste Avoidance to End User Solutions

• Influencing the Waste Pyramid with a refreshed approach to waste avoidance

• Incentivise suppliers to invest in better solutions at the front end of the waste hierarchy

• Social responsibility – Changing Business and Community Behaviour

 Paul Cross has aligned himself closely to the implementation and development of food

organics and recycling programs contracting to waste industry service providers, equipment

and technology suppliers, and, more importantly interacting with key decision makers who manage residential living, hospitality, commercial offices and retail centres.

This places the From Now On in a unique position to have observed the industry from the

supply chain, through to customer behaviour, to service provider practices and ultimately

end user and destination facility solutions. It is quite evident there has been significant

appetite and awareness of the necessary behavioural change towards waste avoidance

coinciding with NSW EPA’s Waste Less, Recycle More Strategies.

The objectives of our business are aligned with the sustainability strategies, which includes

environmental and social governance, of the key stakeholders, and eventual beneficiaries,

and their sustainability teams.

Knowledge from previous rounds of Bin Trim and recent waste avoidance pilot programs

have made it evident that there is a void in linking better managed end user solutions with

better managed waste avoidance strategies, which is a considerable issue not only for 

NSW industry, but nationwide.
