Copenhagen municipality 
Copenhagen Municipality's Resource and Waste Plan 2024, Circular Copenhagen, works to ensure reuse and recycling of citizens' resources for the benefit of both the environment and the climate. Among other things, a large amount of PUR waste is generated every year in the Municipality of Copenhagen, i.e. in mattresses and upholstered furniture from the citizens. This is a fraction of plastic waste which, so far, cannot be set aside for recycling. There is therefore a need to collaborate on developing new treatment solutions.
Participants in PURfection from Copenhagen municipality include:
- Anne Møller Howe
