Stijn aims to drive sustainability by advancing the integration of material flow analysis and life cycle thinking in policymaking. He has worked internationally with policymakers to develop evidence and policies for reducing environmental impacts.Previously, Stijn was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Yale Center for Industrial Ecology and a Research Associate at UCL. He was also an ABSW Media Fellow at The Times and a visiting researcher at the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).

Stijn leads a research group on industrial ecology and policy. The group shows how public policy shapes the use of materials and energy in society. The research methods include material flow analysis (MFA), life cycle assessment (LCA), techno-economic modelling, and policy analysis. The group works across disciplines and in collaboration with industry and policymakers to investigate government interventions that support a transition towards a sustainable circular economy.
