Susan Evans joined Green Alliance in September 2021 as a senior policy adviser, leading the organisation’s work on resource efficiency and the circular economy. She is currently looking at building a green and fair tax system, the links between resource efficiency and carbon emissions, and how best to deploy new and existing laws and regulations in support of a circular economy. Susan was previously policy manager at Zero Waste Scotland, where she led a team providing policy support to the Scottish Government. She worked on policies and regulations, including restrictions on single-use plastics, reforms to extended producer responsibility and the early development of a Circular Economy Bill for Scotland. Prior to that, Susan worked for over eight years with the Economist Intelligence Unit, after starting her career at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
