Her great grandfather saw there was value in discarded metals and founded Belgian Scrap Terminal. As she grew up, surrounded by heavy machinery, steel and port terminals, her choices in life were always inspired by the family business.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline studied commercial engineering at VUB Solvay Management School and graduated with great distinction with her thesis &#8220;Management of automotive shredder residues&#8221;. After specialising further, in 2015 she was invited to join a select group of businesswomen from all around the world taking part in &#8220;The Women Entrepreneur Program&#8221;, an exclusive leadership programme at Stanford Graduate School of Business.<\/p>\n<p>Having accumulated years of management experience in the family recycling business&#8217;s branches around Western Europe, Caroline is now CEO and co-owner of Belgian Scrap Terminal Group, which supplies the global market with 1.5 million tonnes of valuable and natural resources via the Port of Antwerp. <\/p>\n<p>Under her watch, Belgian Scrap Terminal has evolved from a purely revenue-driven company into a value-driven one, with a genuine passion for recycling.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline strongly believes in an ecosystem where collaboration, smart recycling and urban mining leave nothing to waste.  <\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\"

She also provides voluntary mentoring services as a member of the globally operating Circular Economy Club.<\/p>\n<p>As a one-woman consultancy, and in her former role as the Chair of the Southern African e-Waste Alliance, Susanne specialised in furthering collaborative, safe and inclusive WEEE management at an early point in her career. In 2014 she was appointed as part of a national task team that developed a WEEE Industrial Waste Plan, which was only this year replaced by the formulation and introduction of WEEE EPR-based regulation for South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Since her first encounter with Empa visiting South Africa (back in 2003), Susanne systematically built and cultivated strong relationships with both Empa and the World Resources Forum in the years that followed. As part of an international round table led by the WRF, she contributed to the development of various signature research publications and projects including the ISO IWA Guidance Principles, the related &#8220;Worst to Good Practices&#8221; fact sheets and the UNEP &#8220;Eco-e Manual: Electronics Supplement&#8221;. Susanne also assisted the GIZ with SRI-led training initiatives in Ghana and South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 2020, Susanne was appointed by WRF and Empa as the National Coordinator for Phase 2 of the SRI South Africa project (2020-2023).  <\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/person\/norbert-klos\/\" content=\"Norbert Klos\" \/><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2021-06-25\" \/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2021-07-15\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"G-STIC Dubai\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/G-STIC-logo-blue-horizontal.png\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/author\/sonja\/\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"sonja\" \/><meta itemprop=\"interactionType\" content=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\" \/><meta itemprop=\"userInteractionCount\" content=\"0\" \/><!DOCTYPE html>\n    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Norbert-Kolos-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Norbert  Kolos\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\tMeet <br \/> Norbert  Kolos \n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t Norbert  Kolos \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4CF Sp. z o.o.\n\t\t\t\t                \t\t\t\t\t<br \/>Managing partner\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"closeSide()\">&times;<\/a>\n        <br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Norbert-Kolos-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Norbert  Kolos\"\/>\n     Norbert  Kolos\n\t4CF Sp. z o.o. \n    \tManaging partner\n\n                        Circular Economy\n                        Climate\n                        ICT\n                        Entrepreneurship\n\n    \tMeet  Norbert  Kolos\n            <p>26\/10\/2021, 09:30 &#8211; 13:00 GST (Dubai)<\/p>\n            <p>Facilitating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/themes\/climate\/#programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democratisation of technology: understanding the aspirations of young people<\/a> workshop.<\/p>\n\tBiography\n    <p>Norbert Kolos is a managing partner of 4CF.
