Hi
I am Anahita Homavand (M. Sc. Polymer engineering). I am a formal member of editorial board of Baspar (Plastics, Rubber and composites magazine) from 2013 to present. Of course, I am reporter of biopolymer news and environmental subjects in Baspar magazine (To write about 2 or 3 pages about these topics every month). For example, I wrote an article and reported about COP 2015 (UN climate change conference) and I explained about the role of Polymeric industries and energy policies how to conform with requirements of COP 2015. For more information, you can visit these pages:
Of course I am the head of technology management office at Barez industrial group (tire producer) from 2015 to present. Some of my activities in Barez are:
- Technology consultant special in raw material and compounding (To change formulation according to REACH regulations that is European environmental rules)
- Responsible to contact with technical managers of foreign companies (Repsol, Werba, Clariant, Cabot, Continental, …) to transfer technology
- To write the organization technological, environmental and energy strategies and road maps
