Pride Plastic Fishing 2026
Both 1 & 2 August our boats have been on the canals to clean and collect all the trash that goes with such an event. We wanted to raise awareness among people about the plastic waste. Also together with Verpact we want to emphasize the fact that (used) plastic is a resource, and to use it like that collecting ‘statiegeld’ bottles and cans is very important in order to bring these materials back into the recycle chain.
Our skippers, the Verpact team and all the volunteers who contributed on Sunday have been working very hard to collect hundreds of kilos of trash!! We are very proud of them 🌈🐳🤩
Op 1 Augustus vertrokken 7 Plastic Whale boten met onze schippers, Verpact-medewerkers en een heuse Waste Queen op de voorste boot. De opbrengst aan het einde van de dag was een kleine vrachtwagen vol!
Op 2 Augustus vertrokken we zoals eerdere jaren vanaf Het Scheepvaartmuseum om de grachten nog eens goed schoon te vissen na al het feestgedruis. Hierbij is nog eena 227 kg opgevist!

We collect
We collect as much plastic waste with as many people as possible. We started in the Netherlands but we aim to involve people across the globe.
We create
We create economic value from plastic waste. We currently make boats and office furniture. The more we create, the more raw materials we need, the more positive impact we make.
We educate
With our school program we reach thousands of young people in NL and internationally. With presentations and workshops we reach and inspire companies and individuals to get involved with our mission.
