Plastics industry sensitised to water protection<\/h2>\n
This special commitment made sense in many respects: in October, D\u00fcsseldorf is Host of the K 2019<\/strong>the world's leading trade fair for plastics, a material that is currently the most visible sign of increased littering in public spaces. Messe D\u00fcsseldorf, the German Canoeing Association, other water sports associations, PlasticsEurope Germany and its sponsorship initiative Team Kunststoff have therefore been working together for some time to protect waterways.<\/p> In essence, this is about Dialogue and education<\/strong> at trade fairs and sporting events. The aim of a Sensitisation<\/strong> The Clean River Project shares the alliance's goal of encouraging citizens to handle waste more carefully.<\/p>\n \"For us as plastic producers, every piece of plastic waste in the environment is one too many. The Versatility of plastic packaging<\/strong> makes it easier to transport and consume food and drinks outside the home, especially for sports and leisure activities - whether in reusable boxes or service packaging from the supermarket. However, it is also important - and we emphasise this through various channels - that the waste is disposed of and recycled properly afterwards.\"<\/p>\n Dr R\u00fcdiger Baunemann<\/strong>Managing Director of PlasticsEurope Deutschland e. V.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stephan Horch's CleanUp Tour will run for a few more weeks until the beginning of September. PlasticsEurope Germany and Team Kunststoff will continue to support the project and will also be present at the entrance to the Final stop on 6 September 2019 in Berlin<\/strong> be there.<\/p>\n Educate, raise awareness, actively clean up: with these measures, the non-profit organisation Environmental, art and education project<\/strong> Clean River Project e.V. to combat plastic waste in German waters. The start of their latest paddling tour was on 9 August in Koblenz. After passing through the CleanUp stations in Cologne, D\u00fcsseldorf, Oberhausen, Hanover and Magdeburg, the environmentalists' journey will finally end in the German capital on 6 September after covering around 750 kilometres of river.<\/p>\n By creatively staging the plastic waste collected while paddling, the project attracts public attention and raises general awareness of the problem. In addition, the initiators Lectures<\/strong> and organise CleanUp events<\/strong>where sections of the river are actively cleared of plastic waste with the help of volunteers.<\/p>\n On Saturday, 19 October 2019, the environmental activists will also present their projects and campaigns at the K 2019 special show \"Plastics shape the future\"<\/strong> introduce.
