Wim Van Breusegem – Circular Economy expert

Wim Van Breusegem is a Circular Economy expert, based in Brussels. He has over 30 years’ of experience in advising public and private sector clients throughout Europe, the former Soviet Union, Asia and Africa.

He supports decision makers in the transition to a green economy. As such, he helps decision makers in moving towards a resource efficient and circular economy and in building sustainable waste management systems, as part of the policy response to address systemic challenges, such as climate change, environmental degradation and pollution.

Wim Van Breusegem has an in-depth understanding of the EU policies that deliver the European Green Deal and that aim to transform Europe’s economy into a circular one, where economic growth is decoupled from resource use.

He has gained hands-on experience in improving the management of a wide range of waste streams, often based on the Extended Producer Responsibility principle, that are generated in the following sectors: Food and beverage; Transport, telecommunications and energy (used lead-acid batteries, tyres, waste oils, end-of-life vehicles); Electronics (E-waste) Packaging; Construction; Textiles and Plastic (including long-lived plastic applications, single-use plastics and micro-plastics).

Wim Van Breusegem gained extensive experience over the past 10 years on the management of plastic waste, and the prevention of marine litter, in particular from single-use plastics and derelict fishing gear, through a range of projects for the European Commission and the World Bank, in both the EU and Asia.

Clients have included international organisations such as UNEP, World Bank, European Commission, EBRD, EIB, African Development Bank, Secretariat of the Basel Convention, bi-lateral organisations (such as GIZ and KfW), and several national and regional governments. In addition to his work for the public sector, Wim has devised strategies for private companies to move their business in a different direction and/or to improve their performance in waste management and resource efficiency. He also delivered training to non-governmental organisations on EU environmental policy and legislation.
