Vital Resource Management Pty Ltd (VRM) was formed in 1996 by seven people who shared a keen interest in the environment and sustainable management of resources, together with a desire to put something back into the community. The initial focus of the Company was the development of Aquaculture Technologies with a view towards waste water reuse and recirculation in aquaculture systems. In 1997, the Company began work on intensive waste water recirculation techniques.
