About

I'm an environmental engineer. I grew up in Argentina and live in Copenhagen. For the last eight years I have worked in beer and soft drinks, mostly on water, effluent and packaging, most recently as group sustainability manager.

I started at the equipment end. A phosphorus removal plant in Uruguay, then a reverse osmosis unit in Buenos Aires. After that came packaging lines: glass, cans, bag in box, tetra. Then health, safety and environment in Corrientes, through a terrible drought in the river we used as a water source, which you can see herejuly 2019july 2020NASA Earth Observatory, the Parana at Rosario. I am still amazed at how those images look.

I moved to the Netherlands, then to Denmark, and started working as a consultant: feasibility studies for water and wastewater at beverage plants, working out whether a reuse scheme paid for itself before anyone built it.

Then group sustainability manager: scope 3 methodology, EPR modelling, CSRD reporting. Same questions, larger unit. Having worked both ends, I know how much of a published figure rests on a measurement someone took by hand at four in the morning.

What interests me now is the distance between those two ends. Environmental data is required to be disclosed. It is not required to be understandable. I write about that, in English and in Spanish, and build small things that try to close the gap a little.
