Plastic-Free Rivers as Your Legacy

MAKE RIVERS PLASTIC-FREE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Every day, 10 million kilograms of plastic ends up in our natural environment. Imagine: our rivers and oceans are slowly turning into mountains of waste. If we do nothing, by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic than fish – with major consequences for humans, animals and nature. But there is hope. Together, we can turn the tide and give our children and grandchildren a healthy, plastic-free future.

River Cleanup tackles the problem at its core. We ensure that less plastic is produced, replace it with healthier alternatives, clean it up where it has already ended up, and give people the knowledge to make more conscious choices. In this way, we are making rivers around the world plastic-free, step by step.

By including River Cleanup in your will, you give this mission long-term strength. Together, we can help create a world where our children can swim, drink and play safely – without plastic in their lives.

🌿 Flowers & Wreaths – A Green Remembrance

When you lose a loved one, you want to create a memory that offers comfort and does some good at the same time. Instead of traditional flowers or wreaths, you can choose to make a donation to River Cleanup. This way, the memory of your loved one will live on in a concrete action for cleaner rivers.

PRACTICAL

You can transfer your donation to BE42 7370 5967 5554, stating your name. Donations of €40 or more per year entitle you to a tax certificate, which allows you to reclaim 45% of your donation.

Donorinformation

Your support helps us clean up plastic in rivers, take preventive action and organise educational programmes. For every €1 we receive, we remove 1 kilo of plastic from rivers. All your contributions are used entirely for projects and initiatives that keep rivers clean and healthy.

We are pleased to assist you

Would you like to know more about how you can include River Cleanup in your will? Our brochure from Testament.be provides a comprehensive overview. Fill in the form below and we will gladly send you the brochure by post.

You can also make an appointment for a personal consultation to find out more about our work at River Cleanup and leaving a legacy. This consultation can take place at our office in Antwerp, or we can visit you if that is more convenient. We always conduct these consultations together with a lawyer from Testament.be, so that all your questions can be answered immediately.

Would you prefer to speak to a solicitor alone, for example for legal advice or a home visit? That is also possible. Together, we will look at what works best for you.

Thank you very much for considering River Cleanup and making rivers plastic-free in your legacy. Your support means a great deal to us and to the rivers of the future.
