What I specialize in
I am a chemist and seasoned plastic industry professional with over 20 years of experience in R&D, market intelligence, sustainability, and business strategy. I am a certified TRUE Zero Waste advisor and a Blue Consultant. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Chemistry, a Master of Science in Materials Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Polymer Science. My expertise lies in waste mitigation and landfill diversion. I am deeply concerned about the impact of packaging and plastic pollution on both people and the environment. I adhere to the principles of reduction, reuse, and recycling when collaborating with clients, regardless of where they are in their sustainability journey. Through my work, I aim to create a zero- or low-waste economy, focusing on actionable solutions that lead to lasting environmental benefits.
Previous projects
In 2023, I contributed to the Atlanta Green Market (AGM) becoming the first event in Georgia to receive Oceanic Global’s 2-Star Blue Standard for eliminating single-use plastics and implementing sustainable practices. I’ve also conducted environmental impact analyses on various recycling methods for a recycling company, evaluating energy, water, and CO2e emissions. Additionally, I performed competitive and growth assessments for bio-polyethylene (PE) packaging, and provided technical consulting for a seaweed-based packaging startup, addressing challenges, identifying partnerships, and conducting a market analysis for sustainable alternatives to polyolefin-based materials. My work further extends to creating a sustainability scorecard for a sustainable fashion startup, focusing on circularity and chemicals of concern in textiles. More details about those projects and more can be found on my webpage: www.natu.org
