Nathalie Silva serves as a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Service Studies and Doctoral Student in Packaging Logistics at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering. Her research bridges sustainable packaging innovation, circular economy implementation, and supply chain management with emphasis on reducing environmental impacts in food systems and last-mile delivery logistics.
She is completing doctoral research on sustainable industrial packaging systems, focusing on how circular approaches enhance business competitiveness while addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals. Her fingerprint analysis reveals deep expertise in Packaging (100%), Supply Chain Management (55%), and Circular Economy (33%), with applied work spanning food safety, reusable packaging systems, and carbon footprint reduction.
Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate methodological diversity through design science approaches, systematic reviews, and case studies. Key trends include quantifying climate impacts of packaging alternatives, developing reusable systems for grocery delivery, and analyzing material substitutions in global supply chains—converging toward climate-neutral logistics solutions.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Helsingborgs Handelsföreningen Excellens-stipendium (2025)
As researcher for Vinnova-funded project SSKe (2021-2025), she investigates large-scale customized e-commerce deliveries. Her collaborative network spans Lund University's Centre for Retail Research, CIRCLE research center, and industry partners in packaging/logistics sectors.
Affiliated with CIRCLE (Centre for Innovation, Research and Competence in the Learning Economy) and Packaging Logistics group, her work integrates academic rigor with real-world applications through seminars on circular economy consumer engagement and sustainable urban logistics.
