"There is a need for measures that minimize consumption, promote long-lasting design, and keep resources as high up in the waste hierarchy as possible. These are some of the main points made by Trace's three workstream leaders, Else Skjold, Morten Birkved and Kristian Syberg, and the collective PI’s of the currently 19 Trace projects, in an article published in Wastetech."

After the general assembly in Trace, the board has constituted itself with Mikkel Stenbæk Hansen, Director of Circular Economy at Novo Nordisk, and Claus Hélix-Nielsen, Head of Department and Professor at DTU, Sustain & President of the Danish Natural Sciences Academy as new vice-chairperson.
