World Cleanup Day

On 18 September, it is World Cleanup Day. The aim of World Cleanup Day is not only cleaner cities, parks, beaches and forests, but to also move towards better waste management, to raise awareness both locally and globally of the global waste problem, and the urgency of tackling it. Here are some examples on how smart Dutch inventions, research and international cooperation tackle waste in our rivers and oceans. #plasticsoup
