Christian Stiglitz, Vienna, Austria

 

Christian Stiglitz is currently on one of the most senior top experts in Europe in the area of waste recovery and recycling based on the EPR principle. He was responsible for the design and the establishment of the ARA packaging recycling and recovery system in Austria back in 1993, now being the 3rd oldest system in Europe in this field, and lead it as president and CEO for over 16 years.

He established his own consulting company “RECYCLING OF RESOURCES” recently, focussing on complex projects in communication and logistics within governmental, industry and consumer spheres of concerns and interests, nationally as well as internationally.

Mr. Stiglitz holds an MBA degree from the Vienna University of Business administration and Economics where he graduated in 1971 after he spent a year as exchange student in the USA. He held several top executive positions in IBM Austria, General Electric, Austrian Industries AG and Unisys Corp, from sales management, strategic planning to general management before starting with the creation of ARA in 1993.

After the busy start up years he took the initiative to utilize the considerable ARA knowledge and experience by offering consulting services to government institutions as well as to industry and already established systems to develop workable and sensible legal frameworks, and to design and /or optimize the required efficient recovery and recycling system. Some of the major projects were completed in Portugal, Sweden, Hungary, Romania, Cyprus, the Baltic states, as well as in Singapore and Buenos Aires.

Mr. Stiglitz works also as lecturer at the Technical University of Vienna and regularly holds presentations at all the major Waste Management Congresses in Europe, e.g. Sardinia, Berlin, Venice and Vienna and is a member of the advisory board of several companies. He is a member of the advisory board of PRO – Europe, the umbrella organisation of all “Green Dot” Compliance Systems in Europe and Canada, and Vice President of the Austrian Section of the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA).  His professional achievements have been recognized publicly by a number of official awards, e.g. the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria, the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the State of Lower Austria, the honorary title of “Senator” of the Technical University of Vienna etc.
