David Tobin – Beauparc Utilities

An experienced environmental professional, David is the Circular Economy and Sustainability Director for Beauparc Utilities. He is a graduate in Environmental Sciences from both Coventry University and University of Bath, with primary interests in the circular economy, recovery of resources from waste and renewable energy. 

For the past 20 years, David has worked in various environmental management roles in a range of heavy industries. Since 2006 he has worked almost exclusively with waste, alternative fuels and renewables. During this time, he has gained extensive experience in the sourcing, planning, licensing, development and use of alternative and waste derived fuels in Ireland.
