Co-Creation Workshop Postponed

On April 29, from 13:05 to 13:50, TRACE hosts a panel debate on the challenges of fossil-based synthetic textiles at the LOOP Forum in Copenhagen. Experts will discuss how fast fashion, largely dependent on cheap plastic polymers like polyester, impacts circular ambitions in the textile sector. 

In order to combine two calls and thereby improve our call process we are postponing the co-creation workshop originally scheduled for March 25, 2025. A new date will be announced soon, and the co-creation workshop will likely be held after the summer break.

We are delighted to welcome Arvid Aagaard Sihm as our new Head of Strategy and Funding at TRACE.  Arvid brings valuable expertise to TRACE’s mission of developing scalable circular solutions in plastics and textiles. 

The TRACE project, named PETfection, has made significant progress toward converting PET from household plastic waste into high-quality recycled PET (rPET).
