Focus areas in past and present roles are sourcing and implementation of plant-based polymers in the products portfolio, development of alternative packaging materials structures and minimisation of environmental impact of customer operations.īased in Modena (Italy) and part of the company since 2009, he has been gaining experience on Quality Systems (ISO standards), environmental requirements definition and the assessment of development projects, plus ongoing portfolio performance.ĭavide holds an MSC degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Bologna.įisher International, a ResourceWise Companyįisher International has been serving companies in the global Pulp and Paper industry for over 30 years using business intelligence to drive better performance. Main focus is on the introduction of new packaging material structures, where standard barriers are replaced by new ones designed to increase packaging circularity while minimising carbon footprint.ĭavide and his team have been working with suppliers and customers, while facilitating partnerships to address circular economy challenges and opportunities. Product Director Packaging Materials, Alternative Barriers atĪs a Product Director for Alternative Barriers for Packaging Materials, part of the global Packaging Solutions department, Davide is responsible for the implementation of the company’s 2030 strategy across the Tetra Pak packaging materials portfolio. In particular, he is involved in the development of bio-based coatings for control of barrier properties and recyclability of coated papers.
Currently, he assists companies in the implementation of bio-based polymer coatings and paints for industrial applications. His work was awarded with several distinctions including the Robert-Bosch Juniorprofessorship, Baden-Wurttemberg Juniorprofessorenprogramm, Heinz-Maier Leibnitz Preis and FRIAS Fellowship. He led research projects on bio-inspired adhesion mechanisms, protective coatings for papers, nanocellulose production and application, biopolymer processing, advanced analytics and processing of nanocomposites. His work focusses on technical valorization of biomaterials as building blocks including binders and fillers for functional biocomposites and coatings. In 2021, he joined the collective research centre Sirris, a collective industrial research institute, as a Senior Researcher in Circular Economy and Renewable Materials. He followed an academic career from 2000 to 2020 at Universities of Ghent, Freiburg, Toronto and Hasselt having different positions of assistant professor and visiting professor. in Materials Science and Engineering in 2007 from Ghent University presenting his research on polymer tribology.
Pieter Samyn graduated in 2001 at Ghent University (Belgium) and received Ph.D. SIRRIS – Department of Circular Economy and Renewable Materials – Smart Coating Application Labĭr. The scope of this project is therefore the practical implementation of the articles 15, 16 and 17 of the RED II and the identification of best practices on the basis of relevant performance indicators.Senior Engineer Circular Economy and Renewable Materials at However, in addition to the monitoring of the legal transposition of the RED II there will still be ample room for further improvements of the administrative procedures related to permit granting and exchanges of best practices between bodies at regional level, national level and cross border. With the adoption of the recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) 2018/2001 the foundations have been made for a significant administrative simplification and a higher transparency of the procedures for renewable energy project promoters and project developers.
