- It is a great responsibility to manage and distribute our large funds. We use a lot of resources to assess the applications together with external experts. After a thorough process, we are left with the very best applications and I am very satisfied with this year's grantees. These are projects that I am certain will have grand environmental impacts and accelerate the development towards a circular plastics economy, says CEO Cecilie Lind.
