JEREMY BLAKE started his career in Shell Research before opportunity led him to Crime Scene Science. He worked in Crime Scene Investigation for Kent Police eventually becoming Head of Crime Scene Investigation. He then joined the Home Office Forensic Science Service leading the effective use of forensic science in policing. Throughout this period, he was a senior lecturer in Forensic Chemistry at the University of Kent and deputy chair of the Forensic Science Society Awards Committee. His interest in solving problems using science led him to move into the recycling industry, specialising in polymers. Having spent a number of years leading the plastic recycling operations of the largest recycler in the UK he moved to become the Chief Operating Officer of chemical recycling company, Enval. He then joined one of the largest global plastic convertors, Berry Global, where he was the Managing Director of their rigid plastic recycling business, Berry Circular Polymers. Their focus on finding solutions for real circularity has resulted in the building of their latest mechanical recycling facility in Leamington Spa, UK. This is the largest post-consumer polypropylene recycling facility in the UK and is targeting food-grade products through its Cleanstream process. Currently he is the Director of Circular Economy for Berry Global and drives the effective management of their products throughout their lifecycle. Jeremy also acts in an advisory capacity to many groups to drive the development of the Circular Economy. This includes trade bodies, government groups and even on TV when they cannot find anyone more interesting.
