Ricardo-AEA Ltd services

Ricardo-AEA offers a comprehensive odour sampling and UKAS accredited olfactometry management service to support agriculture, process industry, and waste industries with accurate odour analysis. The service complements Ricardo-AEA’s in-depth process, environmental assessment and regulatory expertise.

With the increasing cost of raw materials and the more stringent controls and increased costs associated with waste management, it is essential that all businesses get the best value from their suppliers and contractors. By reviewing your waste streams (through composition and characterisation studies), supply chains and waste management contractors, you can improve performance and reduce expenditure, and ensure legislative compliance. This is important in the current economic conditions where climate change and increasing financial pressures are forcing everyone to review their activities. With increasing taxation on landfill disposal and potential income to be generated from segregated materials, it is essential that every organisation reconsiders its supply chain and on-site activities.

Communications is the vital component that can make or break recycling, re-use, water or energy saving, waste reduction or resource efficiency programmes. Communicate the wrong information to the wrong people in the wrong way at the wrong time and you will be heading for disaster. Ricardo-AEA has a hugely experienced team with more than 20 years’ experience of communicating the widest possible range of resource management issues to public, employees and businesses. We’ve worked with public and private sector organisations to develop exciting campaigns that engage their audiences, raise awareness and change both attitudes and awareness.

Ricardo-AEA combines technical expertise with practical experience across all aspects of sustainable water management to help our clients address these challenges and mitigate the risks. We have a proven track record of working with a range of public and private sector organisations and stakeholders providing policy and programme support, strategic advice and innovative solutions. Our clients include international, state and local governments, as well as international agencies, NGOs and multinational corporations.
