RiverRecycle

REVOLUTIONISING RIVER CLEAN-UPS

RiverRecycle stands at the forefront of change, combating plastic pollution, and fostering lasting positive transformations in rivers and communities worldwide. Established in Helsinki by Anssi Mikola, RiverRecycle now tackles river pollution in nine countries including Ghana, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.

They help enable local municipalities to manage plastic waste efficiently, creating equitable employment, and stimulating the economy by creating a self-sufficient process through recycling systems.

RiverRecycle is committed to installing 500 river cleaning solutions in the next eight years, preventing up to 60% of river-borne plastic waste from entering the ocean.

One such project, in Indonesia, installed a river-based collection system to halt the flow of plastic into Bandung from the Citarum River, and in Kpeshie Lagoon, Ghana. Both projects involve recycling and reusing the collected plastic, and aid in the establishment of a closed-loop economy. Learn more about RiverRecycle on their website and follow them on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
