Posted: 1st October 2021 2021 WORLD CLEANUP DAY At Spontex we love cleaning and this year we’re extremely proud to have partnered with World Cleanup Day, joining thousands of volunteers across the UK. We organised a local clean up around our UK Head Office in Worcester to pick up litter and rubbish from nearby streets and roads. World Cleanup Day is a global movement that is now present in 180 countries and that united over 21 million people worldwide in 2019 and 11 million in 2020 even with the restrictions a lot of countries experienced. Clean up events are organised every year to pick up litter from beaches, rivers, forests and streets. The movement was born in 2008 in Estonia where 50,000 people united to clean up the entire country in just five hours! This civic movement spread very rapidly around the globe and lots of people were inspired to join it with the same ambitious ‘one country, one-day’ formula. The event is led by The Skill Mill in the UK and has taken place every year since 2018. More than 20,000 volunteers took part in 2019, and the numbers have quadrupled this year with 80,000 volunteers coming together to do their bit. Here at Spontex, to support this incredible initiative and to keep the hands of the volunteers protected whilst cleaning up we have donated 3,000 pairs of our Everyday Protect Household Gloves. We also organised a local clean up in Worcester around our offices and the amazing volunteers, equipped with their trolleys, vests, gloves and litter pickers managed to pick up 57.1kg and over 30 bags of litter in just a few hours! Check out the before and after below 😉 We can’t wait to take part again next year and will help spread the word to get even more volunteers on board.
