Participants
The participants were deliberately drawn from a range of organisations, both research and commercial based. This list was established by investigating the connections between key practitioners, and by conducting a qualitative research exercise which contacted organisations capable of applying LCA (consultancy, commercial, research), or potentially having capacity to apply environmental sciences.
The list provides an insight into the breadth of focus of New Zealand's practitioner community. This list is not exhaustive but could be considered an accurate snapshot of the connected industry in New Zealand at this time (May 2008). It captures all leading recognised participants operating in the New Zealand environment at this time and a range of participants that are involved at a more occasional level.
There is a very limited number of true experts in this area nationally that are actively practicing.
