Testimonials

I have worked with Biji on a number of important projects on behalf of KIC’s members with some of them being the development of reports investigating industrial symbiosis and carbon reduction as they relate to the Kwinana major Industrial precinct over the past four years. These projects have been consistently delivered on time and on budget.

Biji is well-connected with industry, and she has a strong practical understanding of how industry operating in its commercial world is trying to improve its competitveness while still innovating for better sustainability outcomes.

Chris Oughton
Director, Kwinana Industries Council

Biji has performed some peer reviews on LCA’s for our group. She has eye for detail and works thoroughly. She is also pleasant to communicate with and came with valuable comments.

Mathilde Vlieg
Associate of the Evah Institute

Biji is one of those rare parties who is well connected to and can work across industry and academia to achieve practical and meaningful outcomes. As a new technology startup, Biji’s work on the carbon life cycle assessment as a third party reviewer was very important to us in demonstrating commercialisation of the Airbridge technology and its application to industry.
