Materials Research Intern – Sustainability

Dayrize is bringing product environmental impact transparency to the mass consumer market, making it accessible for brands of all sizes to understand and improve the sustainable performance of their products.

Dayrize’s purpose is to bring consumption within planetary boundaries by helping businesses and consumers reduce their impact. We have developed the most advanced impact measurement technology, which provides impact transparency for consumer products across 5 dimensions of sustainability.

We have already partnered with over 500 brands and scored thousands of products, and we are just getting started. We have ambitious plans to bring impact transparency to every consumer product in the world. To ensure that the scoring of products is as accurate as possible, we have a materials database that contains environmental impact data on more than 4000 materials. As we score more and more products, more and more materials enter our database, and it is up to us to expand the database and maintain the quality of data used.

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you will be supporting the Materials Research team with:

• Researching impact data on materials
• Diving into Life cycle assessment (LCA) papers, academic journals, and sector publications to discover material impacts
• Making sure that our materials database is well documented and up to date
• Supporting researching existing (sector-specific) materials and databases which could support our own research
