Intern Research project: Beverage can recycling – new strategies?

ReVIEW your opportunities

Imagine you can contribute to an even better Rabobank. A responsibility with real impact which you shape as an Intern joining Rabobank’s RaboResearch Food&Agribusiness (‘RRFA’) department. RRFA is at the core of the bank’s strategy ‘Feeding the World Sustainably by 2050’. RRFA consists of almost 100 analysts across the world that each are dedicated to one or more food and agribusiness sectors.

This internship is within RRFA is in the Supply Chains team that is responsible for research related to (sustainable) food packaging and food logistics worldwide.

ReSET your perceptions

You probably knew already Rabobank is a financial services provider for 8.5 million customers in more than 40 countries. But did you know that we aim to contribute to real change with our “Growing a better world together” mission? We do this in countless and very diverse ways, including:

  • We are an active partner in the ‘Champions 12.3 Coalition’ with multiple stakeholders from governments, NGOs, brand owners etc, aiming at halving global food waste by 2030
  • We have set up the ‘Rabo Waste Hub’ in the Netherlands for local stakeholders, also with the aim of reducing food waste
  • We have a ‘Circular Economy Challenge’ in the Netherlands to support and promote circular and sustainable solutions
  • In a project with Humanitas we help people who have financial problems to get their home administration in order
  • Together with Vluchtelingenwerk Nederland we help 1,500 refugees in finding a job

ReTHINK the start of your career

There is enormous focus on increasing recycling rates, recyclability of packaging, and developing more innovative solutions for food and beverage packaging. This is strongly driven by stakeholder pressure from consumers and regulators, and sustainability strategies of large retailers and brand owners. Are you interested in food packaging and associated topics like sustainability, waste management, and recycling, this might be the perfect internship for you.

We are looking for an intern who is interested in doing independent research as well as providing ad-hoc support as a ‘real’ member of the Supply Chains team, and is thus a combination of a specific research project and a service learning internship. The internship will be for a period of 3-5 months. Due to Covid-19, you will predominantly be working in an online environment within a global team.

The research project evolves around the metal can recycling industry in Europe. We expect you to do the following:

  • To analyse the metal (aluminium) market in Europe to understand the supply chain for beverage cans (market structure, statistics, market drivers and challenges, pricing of virgin versus recycled material, country differences etc)
  • To map the European aluminium can recycling companies. A ‘mapping’ means an overview of key players (capacity, technology, stage of operation, investors, feedstock sourcing etc.)
  • To analyse merger and acquisition trends in the aluminium (packaging) supply chain
  • To identify key research institutes and technology/innovation developments, relevant legislation (e.g., European Green Deal), new beverage can recycling initiatives/partnerships in Europe, successful pilots (separate collection, small items recycling, etc.)
  • To identify key strategic shifts in the market and conclude what these could mean in terms of risks and opportunities for Rabobank and our clients

The ad-hoc requests are diverse. For example, you might be asked to do a quick piece of targeted research of another topic, or to help produce graphs or a slide pack.

ReACT on new chances

Do you take this opportunity with both hands? Your talents and personality make you special. With your energy and enthusiasm you help Rabobank further! If we ask your friends to describe you in a few key words, the answer should be: customer-oriented, highly self-motivated, pleasant to work with. In addition to this competencies, you are:

  • A WO student
  • With a side job (now or in the past)
  • You contribute something to your immediate environment
  • You are able to work in an extremely independent way given that we are working from home
  • You speak English fluently
  • You have a strong sense of accountability
  • You are driven and enthusiastic, with strong research skills
  • You are intrinsically interested in this topic and have an intuitive mind

ReBRAND your growth

Do you want to become the ideal version of yourself? We would love to help you by focusing firmly on your growth, development, investing in an environment where you keep learning every day and will be guided during your internship. In addition, you can of course also count on an allowance of €500 (based on a 36-hour working week).

Rabobank is a cooperative bank with a mission. Together with our stakeholders, we have been dedicated to creating a future-proof society and tackling major societal challenges for 125 years. In the Netherlands, we serve retail and corporate clients; globally we focus on the food and agriculture sector. Our starting point is: together we can achieve more than we could individually.
