An ocean of plastic
Katrine's experience in Bali made her aware of how many tons of plastic are floating around the world's oceans and what a threat it poses to all life below and above the surface.
Drive and dedication
Thus, the idea for Copenhagen Cartel was born in Bali, brought to life in Copenhagen, and continues its growth internationally.


Founded in 2020
Katrine and her good friend Martin (co-founder) launched her passion project. Their desire to make a difference to the sea gave them the strength to start Copenhagen Cartel alongside their full-time work.
In January 2021, Katrine and Copenhagen Cartel opened the 6th season of DR's popular program, Løvens Hule.
The compassionated, emotional, and purpose-driven pitch got the investor Christian Arnstedt on the hook. It made it possible for Katrine and the two partners, Martin (co-founder) and Anne Karina (co-founder), to go "all in" on Copenhagen Cartel. After that, it took off.
