The Clean Up is a social initiative to keep Delfshaven clean and safe. They clean up litter every working day from 13:00 to 15:00. In addition to a better living environment, they provide daytime activities to our vulnerable fellow human beings, who feel validated by this.

On Wednesday June 23rd we will help Clean-Up Delfshaven!

On World Ocean Day (8th June 2021), countries from all four corners of the world – from India to Guyana, South Korea to Austria have pledged to support the ‘30 by 30’ commitment which is being championed by the UK-led Global Ocean Alliance and the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, co-chaired by the UK, Costa Rica and France.

This next milestone follows a successful meeting of the G7 Climate and Environment ministers, during which all members agreed to champion the global ‘30×30’ target to conserve or protect at least 30 percent of the world’s land and at least 30 percent of the world’s ocean by 2030, as well as committing to ‘30 x 30’ domestically.

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.
