Our sustainability commitment at CleanDanube

CleanDanube intro

Why we act on plastic

There are more plastic particles than fish larvae in the Danube. The river washes more than 4 tons of plastic into the Black Sea every day.  Water chemist Prof. Dr. Andreas Fath aims to create awareness of the problem and will swim about 2,700 km for 'a plastic-free Danube'. We will collect 1kg of plastic for every km he swims.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.

How we support local communities

By supporting waste collection, we improve lives in coastal communities and create safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

By working with CleanHub, we’re making sure 2,700 kg of plastic will never end up in our oceans. 🙌
