Kunika Limbanna
@kunikalimbanna
Production Chemist | LCA Specialist | MSc Chemistry | Bridging lab chemistry & ESG sustainability.
What I'm looking for
I am a Production Chemist and Sustainability Analyst who bridges the gap between hands-on chemical manufacturing and data-driven environmental strategy. With an MSc in Chemistry from the University of Glasgow and practical industry experience at Chemify Ltd, I possess a deep, ground-level understanding of chemical synthesis, laboratory safety, and process workflows—including specialized training in handling corrosive, toxic, stench, and pyrophoric chemicals.
What sets me apart in the ESG landscape is my ability to look beyond corporate policy and understand the actual chemistry of industrial processes. Leveraging advanced Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools like openLCA and SimaPro, I model environmental impacts, evaluate carbon footprints, and analyze the operational trade-offs between traditional batch and continuous-flow manufacturing.
Core Competencies & Expertise:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Cradle-to-gate analysis and environmental impact modeling using openLCA and SimaPro.
Process Sustainability: Green chemistry integration, resource efficiency, energy optimization, and waste minimization.
Chemical Manufacturing & Safety: High-throughput production operations, compliance, and rigorous handling of hazardous, toxic, and pyrophoric materials.
ESG Data Analytics: Translating technical production data into actionable sustainability metrics, KPIs, and transparent supply chain insights.
I am passionate about helping organizations transition toward sustainable manufacturing and robust ESG compliance. I am actively seeking roles in ESG strategy, sustainability consulting, or environmental analytics where I can combine my technical chemical background with rigorous impact assessment.
