Christof holds a Master Degree in industrial Engineering and has 30 years of experience in public waste governance and circular economy policy at national, European and international levels. He began his career with a local authority, joined Interafval, the partnership association of all Flemish inter-municipal waste companies and the Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities (VVSG) created in 1996. He spent two decades coordinating waste management policy and representing the interests of local authorities in Flanders. In his later role in OVAM, the Flemish Public Agency for Waste Policy and Soil Remediation, he was head of the department for strategy and policy development contributing to circular economy initiatives while providing expert guidance and building stronger stakeholder relationships.
His close work with public entities and experience collaborating with MWE makes him an excellent fit to lead the organization and represent its members
“I am honoured to have been appointed the MWE’s next Secretary General and look forward to work with our members and our staff, and collaborating with the different stakeholders to push for the development of a responsible Circular Economy in Europe. I strongly believe that a strong and engaged public sector is essential to achieving meaningful environmental progress, to strengthen Europe’s economic position and in building a truly circular future.”
