“I am passionate about Policy that drives the Circular Transition!”

Short Bio

I am a policy professional working at the intersection of Circular Economy, Sustainability, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Over the past 20+ years, I have had the opportunity to work in senior roles across international organisations like the United Nations, the OECD, and the International Chamber of Commerce, as well as in consulting and academia.

I now lead EU public policy for GRS Service as their Director and Representative in Brussels. I am also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network, and I regularly write and speak on circular economy and sustainability issues, both areas I’m deeply passionate about.

I hold a PhD and an MSc in Engineering and the Environment from the University of Southampton, but I have always been more interested in how ideas translate into real-world impact. My aim is to help shape policy that drives meaningful, practical change in how we produce, consume, and manage resources.

“Tom's talk offered an outstanding deep dive into the rapidly evolving landscape of EU battery recycling policy, combining regulatory insight with practical industry implications. He brought clarity to complex topics, from EPR and DPP to the broader strategic tensions between climate action, competitiveness, and geopolitics. His ability to link policy frameworks with real-world operational challenges and solutions made his session one of the most insightful of the conference.”
