River Trashboom I | River Cleanup

May 13, 2020

During our stay in Indonesia we installed our first trashboom with Plastic Fischer. This floating system block plastic from floating into the bigger rivers and ocean. It activated the local community to cleanup and creates awareness on the trash problem. It's a very good fit with our mission at River Cleanup. More news about what we are up to in 2020 soon!
