Profile

• Lucy Wright enrolled on the EngD programme after
  graduating with a degree in Physics. I had
  always been interested in environmental issues,
  but didnt think that I was qualified to go
  straight into a job, says Lucy. I didnt want
  to do a straight PhD and was looking at other
  possibilities when I came across the EngD. It

seemed the ideal solution. After graduating in
1999 she is now working for her EngD Sponsor,
Nokia Mobile Phones, in Camberley. In the
mobile phone sector, environmental management has
traditionally focused solely on operations and
manufacturing. As disposal and recycling become
the responsibility of the manufacturer, the
products must be designed appropriately. There
are now moves within the industry to encompass
the whole of the products lifecycle and several
manufacturers are involved in take back
projects. My role is to provide the
infrastructure that will help drive mobile phone
life-cycle management.
