Waste management advisor Annerieke Douma joins The Circulate Initiative as programmes director

The Circulate Initiative, a Singapore-based non-profit organisation that advocates against ocean plastic pollution, has appointed Annerieke Douma to oversee its strategic programmes across the region and support responsible sourcing practices in the plastics value chain.

Previously based in Amsterdam, Douma has been leading plastic waste management projects in Indonesia for the past year and is part of an expert group giving advice on the building of Nusantara – Indonesia’s new capital city.

Before her move, the industry veteran, who has over 15 years of experience in waste management, had served on the board of directors for Circle Economy. She also led partnerships and fundraising efforts for the Amsterdam-based impact organisation.
