Nicoline Opbroek – Project Manager and LCA Consultant
In everyday life, we are surrounded by sustainability claims. But how can we truly know how sustainable something really is? Through uniform data, of course! When I was first introduced to quantifying sustainability in the residential/non-residential and civil engineering sectors, I knew I had found my calling. At an engineering firm, I was able to contribute to a more sustainable world every day by performing Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI) and carbon footprint calculations in tenders and execution projects, as well as by drafting and reviewing LCAs. That’s where my dream began — a dream of a world in which every product has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). With that kind of data, we can make better-informed decisions. Communicating this data is almost as important as the data itself, so whenever I get the chance, I love creating infographics that make complex information clear and accessible.
To help realise that dream, I work at the NMD as a project manager and LCA consultant, applying my skills and experience to help make the system even more complete and robust.
A good work–life balance is essential to me. In my free time, I often go for a run, and I love sailing, climbing, and hiking. I also enjoy getting lost in a good book or a great series.
