RECOUP has confirmed the appointments of Professor Andrew Dove and Jon Brookes as new advisors to its board.
The organisation said the moves reflect RECOUP’s commitment to evidence-led progress and ensure that strong academic representation and real-world market insight are embedded at board level during a ‘critical’ period for the UK plastics and recycling sectors.
Professor Andrew Dove is a professor of sustainable polymer chemistry and director of the Birmingham Plastics Network at the University of Birmingham. Academic representation on the board aims to ensure that RECOUP benefits directly from research and emerging innovation, particularly around polymer design and recyclability.
Jon Brookes, chief partnerships & growth officer at Ecosurety, brings experience in producer responsibility, policy development and partnership-building across the packaging and recycling system.
Stuart Foster, CEO of RECOUP, said, “The board is a critical part of RECOUP’s ongoing success. These appointments reflect our commitment to drive meaningful progress on plastics circularity. Strengthening our links with academia, innovation and industry collaboration is essential, and Andrew and Jon bring highly complementary perspectives that will support our strategic direction.”
