Laura has an MSc degree in Environmental Sciences from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. She specialized in Environmental Systems Analysis and focussed on understanding and modelling earth systems and the human impact on these systems. Including both natural and social sciences, she viewed these earth systems holistically, seeing connections between different parts of the system.
As an LCA expert at PRé, she uses this knowledge and holistic mindset to model the environmental impact of companies by performing an LCA. She has a particular interest in using this model to provide insight into how certain design or material choices can influence the environmental impact.
