In July 2022, I will surf from Brussels to Amsterdam to campaign against the use of disposable cups and advocate for the adoption of reusable cups. In total, I will travel 385km, the exact distance that 5 million disposable cups cover when laid side by side. Why 5 million? Because 5 million cups are used once and thrown away in the Netherlands each morning.

CAMPAIGNS
Kite surfing across the North Sea, a 1000km sup tour across the Rhine, a 550 km sup tour through The Netherlands visiting schools and meeting representatives of the packaging business ...
Check out our campaigns, expeditions and successes achieved, such as deposits on plastic bottles and cans, waste separation in schools, paper instead of plastic wrappers, plastic polluting products removed from the stores and new campaigns.
Current Campaigns
Operation Overload
On-the-go food & drink packaging is often oversized, causing our trash bins to constantly overflow. We plan to approach companies about the size of their plastic packaging and the waste it is causing. Download the Plastic Avengers App and send us pictures of overflowing trash cans!
Cup Count Campaign
On July 3, the SUP Directive goes into effect. By 2023, companies will become responsible for collecting and cleaning up their packaging. Our Cup Count Campaign already focuses on one such product: disposable plastic (containing) cups. We want to provide input on the implementation of the SUP Directive with huge amounts of photos of littered disposable cups. Will you help us?
