Tired of consultants that don't deliver? Talk to me instead. Companies like HP, P&G, Apple, etc. come to me with their toughest challenges because I deliver solutions that work, often within days. By combining deep insight with high creativity I come up with answers that elude others.

Dr. DeArmitt spent >1000 hours unpaid to fact-check what we've been told online about plastics and the environment. The work spanned waste, litter, degradation, microplastics, ocean plastics and revealed that we have been misled into making harmful policies. The Plastics Paradox book and website are provided free of charge so that people can finally see the truth. This is the most comprehensive independent review of the science.

I work as a consultant to help companies of all sizes to create breakthrough new material formulations and to solve their toughest technical problems.

Main areas of expertise include plastic materials, formulation of plastics including functional fillers, surface treated fillers, antioxidants / stabilizers and other additives.

In 2020 I wrote The Plastics Paradox - the first book to revieiw the science covering plastic materials, their lifecycle analysis, waste, litter, ocean plastics, microplastics and degradation. Since then the book has been translated into various major languages and the knowledge base has increased vastly to the point where, havig read over 3000 peer-reviewed articles on the topic, I am now considered a leading authority as evidenced by the many media appearances and speaking engagaments.
