He studied Spanish in Salamanca. He worked for the Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Environment, Inspectorate for the Environment from 1988 to 1990. He was responsible for the secretarial, clerical and administrative affairs for the Long term Intensification Programme on the Enforcement of Hazardous Waste Legislation and involved in waste legislation projects.
In 1990 he joined TNO, where initially coordinated research on waste management policy and integrated substance chain management and served as section interim manager. In 1994 he joined TNO's strategic innovation think tank, TNO Strategy, Policy and Technology (STB). Over time, his focus shifted from waste management, environmental impact assessment, life cycle assessment, material flow analysis and risk assessment to interactive policy making and sustainable system innovation and transition management. In 1998 he published a book on societal disputes on toxic substances, which awarded him a Ph.D. from Tilburg University. He published some 40 peer-reviewed 40 papers, 5 books, 10 book chapters and 150 other publications, and is frequently asked as invited speaker world wide. In his 18 year career, he played a leading role in the acquisition of over 15 Million Euro in research grants, including major EU-funded programs like SCORE (the main global research network on Sustainable Consumption and Production) and EXIOPOL (the main EU effort in developing a global, detailed environmentally extended input output database). He currently manages the research program on Transitions and System innovation within TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, Business Unit Innovation and Environment, that was evaluated as one of TNO’s top ranking technologies during the 2006 scientific assessment exercise .
His other positions and activities include:
• Book series editor Eco-efficiency & Industry, Springer, Dordrecht (since 1998)
• Member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Life cycle Assessment (since 2000)
• Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal for Sustainable Product Design (since 2002)
• Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Industrial Ecology (since 2003)
• Member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development (since 2005)
• Member of the Dutch Commission for Environmental Impact Assessment (appointed by Royal Decree, May 2001)
