Bio
Anne Johnson
Minal is a creative researcher and consultant with a great network in the packaging community both domestically and internationally. Very knowledgeable about packaging and recovery systems, he has done excellent research for RRS to support some our international work. -A Johnson
Arnold Barlow
Minal and I first crossed paths in 2009, when I was developing a sustainable packaging evaluation program for UPS and he was responsible for the COMPASS software tool at SPC. We have never stopped collaborating over the years, and I have always found him to be insightful, resourceful, and a pleasure to deal with. Minal is a (too-rare) combination of competence and good-naturedness. He knows his stuff, but he wears it lightly.
