Welcome Liv Johansson to the CREF Team

CREF is excited to welcome Liv Johansson as the newest member of our team. Liv will be leading the Compostable Field Testing Program (CFTP), an international, open-source research platform that enables composters to field test the disintegration of compostable foodware and packaging in their own operations.

Liv brings nearly a decade of experience in the waste and organics management sector, where she has focused on improving environmental outcomes and advancing the circular economy. Based in Washington, she has served as a Board Member for the Washington Organics Recycling Council (WORC), operated a compost facility at the Woodland Park Zoo, and most recently worked as Science and Permitting Manager for Engineered Compost Systems. 

A graduate of UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources, Liv is passionate about supporting the composting industry with data-driven, science-based solutions. When she’s not thinking about compost, she enjoys gardening, cooking, and spending time with her husband, cats, and Icelandic horse, Rosa.
 
We’re thrilled to have Liv on board and look forward to the innovation and expertise she brings to CREF and the CFTP.
