PRESS RELEASE
Imagine a plastic free riverside snack bar or camp site… No plastic plates or cutleries, selective waste collection is in use, and the beach is kept clean. Imagine institutions, schools, local governments that teach, deem vital and demonstrate with their daily operations how to lead a sustainable and eco-friendly life by minimising waste generation. And if you have imagined it, let’s do it!

11 November 2022 -The results of the international river protection project Tid(y)Up – Follow the Plastic from Source to the Sea were presented at a two-day closing event. In the framework of this co-ordinated action plan, as a result of research carried out in order to eliminate the plastic contamination of the Danube and the Tisza, river clean-up actions, awareness-raising activities and the elaboration of legislative proposals, not only 18 tons of waste were removed from the water, but the 21 organizations from 7 countries participating in the project implemented international cooperation and raised the representation of the rivers to a higher level. It was also thanks to this project that in 2022, the PET Cup prevented the release of more waste into the natural environment than what was collected from the river and its flood plains this year.
