Joep Meijer is an expert in quantifying environmental performance using lifecycle thinking and lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodologies. He has performed LCAs for over 300 products, has worked for all major materials manufacturers, many consumer products and design firms to integrate the science and vision of a measured approach to sustainability. Measured means, if you do not know where you are (your footprint), how do you know where you are going and when you get there? He is helping companies in developing sustainability strategies and making informed decisions during R&D, innovation and design. He has a seat on the US Green Building Council’s Material and Resources Technical Advisory Group, which is part of the ASTM committee on sustainable construction and is the LCA technical expert at Sustainable Minds. He works with design teams and conducts workshops, webinars and training to over 1,000 people making decisions about products and design. Meijer is a graduate of the University of Nijmegen in environmental chemistry.
