A funding competition that aims to establish the UK as a leading innovator in sustainable plastic packaging and deliver clean growth.
He also oversaw an evaluation of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its network of supporting organisations for the European Commission. The findings were used to assess how well the EEA was performing, including whether the core missions of the EEA and EIONET matched the current needs.

Through this work he has developed an ability to engage with the public, industry and government on varied and complex environmental topics.
