About me
“The circular economy is an extremely complex field. Good journalism makes it understandable – without oversimplifying it.”
More than 14 years as an editor at EUWID Recycling und Entsorgung, freelance since 2022. Originally from Essen, I live in Hagenbach in the Palatinate – and these days I write code, too.
