Compensate your plastic footprint

Are you concerned about plastic pollution?

Whether you worry about the effects of plastic pollution on the health of your children, the impact on the environment or just don’t like to swim in plastic waste while relaxing in nature, you can take action right now.

For every €1 you donate, you help us remove 1 kg of river-bound plastics in Belgium, Indonesia and Cameroon. That's the equivalent of 33 plastic bottles.

Imagine the impact you can have today with 50 or 100 euro! Your support via our fund at the King Baudouin Foundation is also tax-deductible. And what's more, you also support the development of our Clean River Model and our global work on making rivers plastic-free. By 2030 we want to implement the Clean River Model in 100 rivers globally. Taking action is easy and takes just five minutes. Let’s get started below.

Plastic footprint in the EU

A resident of the EU produces on average 36.1 kilos of plastic waste per year (of which about half is effectively recycled). Are you concerned about this plastic footprint?

Donate here and compensate for your plastic footprint. You can take action and contribute to plastic-free rivers.

Need a tax certificate?

For donations of €40 or more, you can get a tax certificate via our fund at the King Baudouin Foundation. If you want a tax certificate, it's important to donate online via the King Baudouin Foundation.

Please contact partner@river-cleanup.org beforehand if you have questions or want to donate € 1 000 or more and need an impact certificate.

Thank you! Your support is important for plastic-free rivers and means a lot to us.
