PhD Candidate, Te Piringa-Faculty of Law, University of Waikato My PhD research focuses on the role of law for "extended producer responsibility" . The emphasis is on product-oriented law and policies mandating producers to bear responsibility for environmental impacts of their products through their lifecycle. My research examines intricate legal issues related to upstream and downstream producer responsibilities, including waste reduction, waste prevention, reuse, repair and recycling. Other areas of research include consumer protection, competition and industry self-regulation.
