Irene Mazzei
With a Chemistry doctorate, a Materials Science academic background and a passion for sustainability, Irene shaped her career to focus on practical issues, tackling environmental challenges and finding tangible solutions.
Irene was introduced to Stoane Lighting through a two-year Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the company and Edinburgh Napier University where Irene added vital impact quantification to Stoane Lighting's sustainability strategy. She has spent much of her time sharing her research with lighting designers, manufacturers, and practitioners across the wider built environment, focusing on the importance of harmonised environmental impact assessment strategies across the lighting industry.
As a natural follow-up from the Knowledge Transfer Partnership, in her new role as Stoane Lighting’s Sustainability Lead, she continues to interface with national and international initiatives with the aim of promoting consistent and harmonised practices for the environmental assessment of lighting. In addition to this, her Materials Science background will conveniently be merged with Life Cycle Assessment to advise the best solutions for sustainable design and manufacturing of lighting products.
