Dr Simon Boxhall is a lecturer in Oceanography at the University of Southampton, National Oceanography Centre (UK) and joins the likes of Nokia, Sabic, Delft University of Technology and more at the Renewable Plastics Conference 2011.

The conference will be held on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 September 2011 at the Crowne Plaza in Brussels, Belgium.

He has worked on secondment for projects for UNESCO, The European Union Research Centre, The World Bank, The British Council, and European Space Agency over the years.

He will be discussing the 'real' impact of Renewable Plastics from the sustainable/ecological side and how thousands of plastics end up washed up in the oceans. No doubt his speech on this highly publicised issue will be of interest on both a supplier and consumer level.

Simon has a responsibility for public understanding and has been involved in documentaries for C4, Sky, BBC, National Geographic and Discovery. He regularly appears on radio and TV news and current affairs broadcasts across the World relating to a broad range of ocean, coastal and climate issues.
