Critical Reviews of Life Cycle Assessments (according to ISO 14040 / 14044) and Carbon Footprints (according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol), e.g.

• Comparison of the potential environmental impacts of a new versus an incumbent pigment for different paint formulations. [reference]
  
• Critical Review of a Carbon Balance for industrial thermal solar systems taking into account the product as well as the organisational carbon footprint;
• Critical Review of an LCA study on packaging substitution for facial creams;
• Critical Review of a comparative LCA of different types of garden hoses taking into accont a waste treatment process PVC post-consumer waste;
• Critical Review of an LCA for a data storage server.

Critical Reviews of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Approved verifier for two EPD programme holders, i.e the German EPD Scheme for Building and Construction Products (Institut für Bauen und Umwelt, IBU) and the International EPD System (Environdec). Verification of well over 50 standard- and industry association EPDs as well as associated interactive software tools.

Organisation and delivery of carbon and water footprint workshops attended by ~70 participants from industry, academia and government organisations.

Project management and conduct of life cycle assessments for a range of different industries, e.g.

• Carbon footprint measurement for the New Zealand dairy industry;
• Development of a streamlined sustainability assessment calculator for alternative water and sewage servicing options;
• Comparative LCA study for two alternative steel making technologies for a large international steel manufacturer;
• Project management for the collection of life cycle inventory data of water and wastewater treatment chemicals enabling water utilities to undertake more accurate LCAs;
• Research for an LCA for the Australian meat and livestock industry which quantified a range of environmental impacts for beef and lamb meat production.
