Taskforce Coordinators
The five Task Forces (TF), Policy, ReDesign, ReUse, ReCycle and Capacity Buidling are devoted to research, analysis and facilitation of pilot-projects that are set up and carried out in line with StEP’s objectives. Each Task Force is coordinated by two StEP members who are responsible for representing each Task Force, managing the overall coordination within the Task Forces, as well as maintain positive momentum and ensure Task Force activities fall in line with StEP’s overall objectives.

Peck, David
Assistant Professor in the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands. His current research at TU Delft aims to establish the state of the art with respect to the level of awareness and understanding of critical materials use in companies. The chosen companies are involved within the product design - manufacturing domain and in particular the electrical/electronic sectors. For those companies who do have an awareness the research will establish what actions are currently underway or are being planned in the near future. This research has a focus around the early stages of the new product development process and acts as the start point of a response around circular economy approaches.
