As the founder and managing director of EPR compact, my mission is to help companies not only meet the complex requirements of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) but also integrate them efficiently into their business processes.With over 15 years of experience and deep insights into the EPR world - from EPR service providers to recycling companies and global corporations - I am well-versed in the daily challenges: missing processes, insufficient data, constantly changing requirements with inadequate monitoring of legal obligations, dependencies on individual know-how, and the underestimated risk of reducing EPR to just registrations and reporting.But there’s much more to it, including market access prerequisites, product and packaging requirements, labeling and information obligations, waste prevention, data management, and optimizing supplier management.MY MISSIONI help companies build a sustainable, standardized “conveyor belt” for EPR compliance - independent of individuals or chance. Instead of offering short-term "EPR-done-4-you" solutions that create new dependencies, we focus on best practices that turn our clients into EPR experts. This not only ensures compliant market access but also increases efficiency and conserves resources.WHAT I BRING- Over 15 years of EPR experience, specializing in electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries, and packaging- EPR compliance expertise across 60+ countries- A pragmatic approach: "Treat others the way you want to be treated."MY GOALEPR is already a dry enough topic, which is why I emphasize clear, solutions-oriented communication. My goal is for companies to adopt EPR as an integrated standard in their processes. This doesn’t just save time and effort, it also enhances compliance and reduces costs in the long term.If you want to navigate the EPR jungle and future-proof your processes, let’s talk. It's time to make EPR a best practice in your company.PERSONALOutside of work, my family is my top priority. Sports - especially beach volleyball and bouldering - have always been a big part of my life and provide a great balance. Values like respect and fairness are important to me both personally and professionally, and I bring these into every collaboration.

Listed skills include Environmental Consulting, Extended Producer Responsibility, Weee, Project Leadership, and 16 others.
