In light of the problem, today, on World Ocean Day, our team from our Amsterdam HQ gathered to collect and clear waste from Zandvoort beach. For us, this is not a superficial mark of alliance but a powerful reminder of our mission and reality.
At Arch & Hook, we are unrelenting in the proactive and meaningful ways in which we actively clean ocean- bound plastic – from 4 of the 10 most polluted rivers in the world – and upcycle it into our iconic BLUE® material which is fully recyclable and designed to never end up in landfills or the ocean.
We’re making moves, are you joining us?

Together with local initiatives, we will discuss the human impact on our oceans and how we can strive for a more sustainable relationship with the waters that surround us.
Sea you there!
During the month of June, the Dive the North Sea Foundation will clean up waste, plastics, lost fishing nets and fishing lead in the southern North Sea. On World Ocean Day, the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Cora van Nieuwenhuizen will visit the volunteers on board the diving ship. Together, they emphasize the importance of a clean and healthy North Sea.
