GrønBlå A/S announces that Jeppe Kofod, former Danish Foreign Minister and Minister for Trade Policy, has joined the company as Co-founder and Chairman, Europe to champion a world free of plastic and waste.
"There are few problems where the science is settled but the implementation is failing. Single-use plastic is one of them," said Kofod on joining. "GrønBlå has built both the material and the disposal system, the missing half that most 'sustainable' alternatives ignore. That is why I joined."
Kofod brings three decades in European policy and government, including service as Denmark's Foreign Minister and as Minister for Trade Policy, plus extensive work on EU climate and trade legislation. He joins the founding team to champion a world free of plastic and waste.
