Melissa Huff

Melissa Huff, a senior chemical engineer and project manager at ERG, has developed cradle-to-grave life cycle inventories and life cycle assessments for over two decades. Fresh out of college with a degree in chemical engineering, she was hired and mentored in life cycle studies by Bill Franklin, one of the first U.S. life cycle practitioners. Since then, she has conducted LCI studies for Asian, European, and North American clients, and served as project manager on dozens of public and private LCI/LCA projects. She has watched the LCA field mature and transform and finds it inspiring to be working in such a dynamic and important field.

At Franklin Associates (a division of ERG), she performs and manages LCAs in many different areas, including packaging, computers, insulation, and a broad variety of chemical and consumer products. Melissa also manages Franklin Associates’ data within the U.S. LCI Database. She has authored and presented many publications providing insight on her projects over the years.

Melissa holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
