Pet Kupa river cleanup at the Tisza. DAY#3

The team of Recycled Island Foundation joined this year’s river cleanup with Pet Kupa along the Tisza river in Hungary.

The Tisza is one of Danube’s most beautiful yet polluted tributaries. It begins in Ukraine, flows almost entirely through Hungary and then enters the Danube in Serbia.

The boat race, a lifetime adventure organized by the Hungarian NGO Plastic Cup, contributes to clean the river and its shores, to increase awareness and to build a solid network of experts. This is done by allowing volunteers to sail with boats made with recycled plastic for more than 80 kilometers and to collect plastic litter along the Tisza.

This year, we shared the paddles with the ICPDR (International Commission for the Protection of te Danube River) and were awarded the second prize. Throughout the boat race, more than 10 tons of plastic litter have been collected and a significant impact towards plastic-free rivers has been made. We cannot wait to take part in the next boat race and we are inviting you to join us!
