WHO ARE PLASTIC FISCHER

Based in Cologne, Plastic Fischer has been dedicated to the fight against plastic pollution in rivers and oceans since 2019. Using innovative technologies, specialized boats, nets and fences, they collect plastic waste from waters in India and Indonesia without endangering marine wildlife. Since April 2021, the employees have fished more than 1.7 million kg of plastic waste from rivers! The collected waste is then processed and recycled so that it does not end up back in the environment.

PLASTIC FISHER X GOT BAG

In addition, Plastic Fischer is involved in educational and awareness-raising work to create awareness of the problem and contribute to the reduction of plastic waste. Through their work, they make a positive impact on our environment and we want to support them! As part of our partnership, we have financed a total of five TrashBooms so far and the collection of 10,000 kg of plastic waste this year. We are proud to take action together against the increasing pollution of our oceans.
