"Mette played an important role in connecting the experience developed in Kalundborg with the local reality of AEDIN and the Santa Cruz Industrial District (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil). Her strong project management skills, strategic thinking, stakeholder engagement abilities and deep understanding of industrial symbiosis were fundamental in helping us structure a collaborative and practical governance approach.

Mette is also exceptionally skilled at building meaningful connections among people, organizations and cultures. She approaches complex challenges with enthusiasm, creativity and a genuine willingness to find solutions. She is always available to support others, share knowledge and encourage collaboration.

Beyond her outstanding professional capabilities, Mette is an extremely charismatic, thoughtful and kind person. Her positive energy, empathy and generosity make working with her both productive and truly enjoyable. "

"Mette Wendel made me understand that we don’t have waste but resources and if industries are able to build trust among themselves, then they could easily exchange the by-products of their production to manufacture other goods as well and hence close the loop."

Sam Dindi, Director at Mazingira Yetu Organization, Kenya
