Lucas Menezes Pereira

Higher Degree by Research Candidate

Adelaide Business School

Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics


I am a PhD student at the Adelaide Business School under the supervision of A/Prof Devika Kannan, Prof Kannan Govindan and Prof Alfred Yawson.
My research is in the areas of circular economy and sustainability, focusing on plastic packaging waste management. I aim to develop a system that not only achieves the circularity targets established in developed countries, but also meets the environmental, social and economic needs towards a sustainable life cycle of plastic packaging.
