Thanks to our partners we make rivers plastic plastic-free.
In our first 5 years we activated 285 000 volunteers in 100 countries and removed 3,5 mln. kilograms of river waste from nature. On top we developed the Clean River Model as highly scalable solution to make 1000 rivers plastic free by 2050. Realizing these ambitious plans is only possible thanks to the continuous support of our partners! We value these long-term partnerships and are open to start new collaborations with organizations willing to become part of the solution. We are the first generation to see the impact of plastic pollution on people and the planet… and the last who can do something about it. Join our mission and let’s have an impact together.

“Convinced and driven by the mission to remove 11 billion kilos of plastic from rivers before it enters the ocean, we at Keytrade Bank decided to support River Cleanup.

SumUp
"In 2022, as part of our first donation towards our 1% for the Planet pledge and through our partnership with River Cleanup, we removed a staggering 15 tonnes of plastic waste from the Citarum River in Indonesia, one of the world's most polluted rivers. In 2023, we continued our support for the cleanup of the Citarum River by removing another 100 000 kg of plastic. We continue to focus on reducing plastic waste and supporting on-field education campaigns to raise environmental awareness among local communities."
