As a brand-new member of Selenis’ team, what is your initial impression of our industry?

The industry's dynamic nature truly impressed me. Innovation typically stems from two key drivers: regulatory requirements and customer demand. In the PET packaging sector, these factors exert significant influence. Regulatory initiatives such as the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) are pivotal in promoting sustainability. Meanwhile, consumer preferences are shifting towards recyclable products that incorporate recycled or bio-based materials. It's a business landscape where both compliance and customer satisfaction are driving forces for change.

What are you most excited for in your future with Selenis?

Plastics play a vital role, especially in packaging for food, beverages, medical, and cosmetic products, among others. While there's currently no immediate substitute, the industry, like many others, is undergoing a transformation toward a greener, more sustainable future. This is what excites me most about the industry—the recognition of its significance and the compelling shift it's experiencing. Furthermore, as part of Selenis, I'm pleased to contribute to a company that is committed to change, adaptation, and innovation. With its talented workforce, expertise, and infrastructure, Selenis is well-positioned to lead the way in sustainable packaging solutions.

Along with being a part of the Selenis team, you are also working to complete your master's degree in sustainability. How will this great achievement benefit you in helping Selenis further its sustainable efforts?

I strive to integrate work and education to ensure I stay abreast of the latest knowledge. My master's degree focuses on the political aspects of sustainability—how governments and macro institutions influence change and innovation. By gaining proficiency in key literature and regulations shaping the industry, I aim to assist Selenis in navigating these complex issues. Additionally, in evaluating the impact of adopting greener energy sources and feedstock, my studies will enable me to critically analyze and revise how Selenis communicates its methodologies, including those used in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Based on your in-depth knowledge regarding sustainability, how can Selenis improve its efforts to reach a circular economy?

I believe Selenis is already heading in the right direction. Clearly, the energy mix and feedstock used in Selenis' production processes are crucial factors, particularly as we track results using the Cradle-to-gate methodology. While progress has been made in both areas, there is still more work to be done. Increasing the percentage of electricity in our energy mix, raising the proportion of renewable energy sources, and incorporating a higher percentage of products made from recycled or environmentally friendly bio-sourced materials would also be highly beneficial.

Can you tell us about the land work you made with nonprofit organizations in Africa? Why is work like this important?

My focus was on promoting financial inclusion and literacy, working with people in rural settings in Mozambique, and with financial institutions including micro finance institutions and commercial banks. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of the multilateral impact and operational challenges faced by institutions in the Global South. Additionally, I had the privilege of conducting feasibility studies on credit and insurance origination, particularly in agriculture lending lines, further enriching my experience and expertise in the field. The overarching goal of the program was to promote sustainable economic development by enhancing financial literacy and access to basic financial services. The opportunity to make a meaningful impact in some of the most underserved regions of the Global South was incredibly rewarding.

As a brand-new member of Selenis’ team, what is your initial impression of our industry?

The industry's dynamic nature truly impressed me. Innovation typically stems from two key drivers: regulatory requirements and customer demand. In the PET packaging sector, these factors exert significant influence. Regulatory initiatives such as the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) are pivotal in promoting sustainability. Meanwhile, consumer preferences are shifting towards recyclable products that incorporate recycled or bio-based materials. It's a business landscape where both compliance and customer satisfaction are driving forces for change.

What are you most excited for in your future with Selenis?

Plastics play a vital role, especially in packaging for food, beverages, medical, and cosmetic products, among others. While there's currently no immediate substitute, the industry, like many others, is undergoing a transformation toward a greener, more sustainable future. This is what excites me most about the industry—the recognition of its significance and the compelling shift it's experiencing. Furthermore, as part of Selenis, I'm pleased to contribute to a company that is committed to change, adaptation, and innovation. With its talented workforce, expertise, and infrastructure, Selenis is well-positioned to lead the way in sustainable packaging solutions.

Along with being a part of the Selenis team, you are also working to complete your master's degree in sustainability. How will this great achievement benefit you in helping Selenis further its sustainable efforts?

I strive to integrate work and education to ensure I stay abreast of the latest knowledge. My master's degree focuses on the political aspects of sustainability—how governments and macro institutions influence change and innovation. By gaining proficiency in key literature and regulations shaping the industry, I aim to assist Selenis in navigating these complex issues. Additionally, in evaluating the impact of adopting greener energy sources and feedstock, my studies will enable me to critically analyze and revise how Selenis communicates its methodologies, including those used in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Based on your in-depth knowledge regarding sustainability, how can Selenis improve its efforts to reach a circular economy?

I believe Selenis is already heading in the right direction. Clearly, the energy mix and feedstock used in Selenis' production processes are crucial factors, particularly as we track results using the Cradle-to-gate methodology. While progress has been made in both areas, there is still more work to be done. Increasing the percentage of electricity in our energy mix, raising the proportion of renewable energy sources, and incorporating a higher percentage of products made from recycled or environmentally friendly bio-sourced materials would also be highly beneficial.

Can you tell us about the land work you made with nonprofit organizations in Africa? Why is work like this important?

My focus was on promoting financial inclusion and literacy, working with people in rural settings in Mozambique, and with financial institutions including micro finance institutions and commercial banks. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of the multilateral impact and operational challenges faced by institutions in the Global South. Additionally, I had the privilege of conducting feasibility studies on credit and insurance origination, particularly in agriculture lending lines, further enriching my experience and expertise in the field. The overarching goal of the program was to promote sustainable economic development by enhancing financial literacy and access to basic financial services. The opportunity to make a meaningful impact in some of the most underserved regions of the Global South was incredibly rewarding.
