Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Dominik
Material decisions are one of the largest, yet least managed levers for cost, risk, and competitiveness in manufacturing companies.
Most manufacturers are leaving money on the table when it comes to material usage – because purchasing, product development, and controlling each only see their part.
I bring the missing overview:
Where is recycled material worthwhile, where is closed-loop, where does virgin material remain the better choice – evaluated along cost, supply chain risks, regulatory requirements, and customer expectations.
I support manufacturing companies in making informed decisions on material strategy, circular economy, and supply chain – economically, cross-functionally, and with a focus on implementation.
My advantage: I know both sides – industry and the recycling market – from working with international companies as well as from the operational implementation of material and circular strategies.
This makes the difference between decisions that sound good and those that actually pay off.
Typical topics:
•Evaluation of recycled material use and material options
•Development of business cases (cost, risk, regulation)
•Analysis and optimization of supply chains
•Positioning of circular economy strategies within the product portfolio
•Alignment between purchasing, product management, and management
