Recycling deposits ensure that less bottles end up in the environment as litter, which is great! However, the introduction of deposits does not completely prevent plastic and other litter from ending up in the water. Even now, we still fish up a lot of deposit bottles and a lot of other litter. Even after the introduction of a deposit on cans in 2023, we will still have our hands (and nets) full cleaning the waters of Amsterdam and Rotterdam.... and the land of course! We think it is important to create social awareness of the plastic soup problem, especially by taking action together with citizens, companies and government authorities and by going plastic fishing and doing Cleanups with as many people as possible. We also create economic value from plastic waste on a local scale.
