Bio
Dylan Lamb
If every business owner or entrepreneur in Australia was like Steve, I'm not sure climate change and all the economic symptoms we nurse would exist. I've enjoyed getting to know and work with Steve with both Planet Ark and Close The Loop as a circular economy designer and consultant. Steve epitomizes what it means to be collaborative, open-minded and values-driven in business. He's been doing circular economy before it even came a thing. Steve is very high up on my list of people critical and influential in making the transition from a linear to a circular economy a reality in Australia. If you get the chance to work with, be inspired by and learn from Steve - grab it with both hands. He's one of kind and his Aussie spirit is infectious.

Steve is a leader in Circular Economy thinking and practice. He is a wonderful mentor to my students in Food Systems Design at RMIT University. He is certainly a leader in Australia in food waste innovation and we are lucky to have him developing such innovative product-service-systems in our country.

Circular Food turns food waste into organic fertiliser. Our products, trademarked BIG BIO, are certified by NASAA as inputs to organic farming. We believe the nutrients and micro-organisms from food waste can be effectively returned to the soil. The vision includes closing the loop on food waste by innovating in collaboration with all aspects of the food supply chain. If you are a farmer, grower, processor, wholesaler, retailer, consumer, waste management company, or composter and you want to be part of 'The Circular Economy of Food' please get in contact now.
