Charles Blake
With a background in creative materials technology, marine operations, engineering and agriculture, combined with 24 years’ experience in environmental consulting and provision of waste management solutions, Charles has cultivated a penetrating understanding of natural and mechanical systems which he applies to environmental technologies and the delivery of cost-effective results.
Charles has an acute ability to identify interfacing technologies that enable specific outcomes. He has provided consulting, waste management plans and the implementation of environmental solutions to many of Australia’s largest companies.
Additionally, Charles has an extraordinarily wide network of international technology providers, innovators, prototyper’s and solutions providers. This has given rise to projects in Canada, USA, South America, Holland, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and the islands of the South-West Pacific.
Charles uses his understanding of natural symmetries, patterns and systems to inform and identify specific outcomes and identifies financially viable and technically achievable technological pathways of the delivery of those outcomes. Charles is articulate in his ability to communicate ideas in both general and technical terms.
