I am coordinating UNEP’s work on eco-innovation and circularity in different sectors. Through this work I aim to help governments and businesses to identify key strategic actions and implement those – be it through integrated policy frameworks or through novel business strategies. A ground rule for the circular practices I promote through my work is that they should be implementing sound management of chemicals, and pay particular attention to chemicals of concerns, with the objective to reach a non-toxic, circular model. The end goal is that companies are able to offer more sustainable, non-toxic products and services to consumers – thereby protecting the environment and our health.
