Dr. Vikas Mittal studied chemical engineering from Punjab Technical University in Punjab, India. He later obtained his Masters of Technology in polymer science and engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. Subsequently, he joined the Polymer Chemistry group of Professor U. W. Suter at the Department of Materials at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich in Switzerland. There he there worked for his doctoral degree with focus on the subjects of surface chemistry and polymer nanocomposites. He also jointly worked with Professor M. Morbidelli at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences for the synthesis of functional polymer latex particles with thermally reversible behaviors. 

Apart from some methodological shortcomings, three LCA studies evaluate products for which considerable technical problems related to production and product properties still need to be overcome. This is the case for the two china reed-based products studied by FAT/CARBOTECrf and for the transport pallet studied by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology . This calls firstly for further R D and secondly for caution when making use of the LCA results for these specific applications.
