Dr Liz Goodwin
Liz is a chemist by background and has a PhD in chemical physics. She held a number of technical and production related roles with ICI and Zeneca before moving into the environmental field within the chemical industry.
Liz became the CEO for WRAP in 2007 and has worked with the organisation since its early days. Since taking over as CEO, the profile of WRAP and the issues of waste and recycling have increased significantly.
Under her leadership, the Courtauld Commitment, involving major retailers, brands and their supply chains, has been driven forward with the first target of cutting packaging growth being achieved.
The problem of food waste is now widely understood and momentum is growing to tackle this serious issue. Also, in the construction sector, the Construction Commitment: Halving Waste to Landfill was launched in 2008 and is currently in the process of being rolled out.
