The ugly plastic truth
Every year, more than 11 billion kilos of plastic is polluting our oceans. 80% of which through our rivers. Water makes this plastic break up in extremely tiny little pieces.
Worse still, these harmful microplastics find their way back to us through the water cycle and into our food, drink and even the air we breathe. Every week, we unwittingly ingest the weight of a bank card. The consequences? Hormonal imbalances and other health risks...
We need to take action!

What is River Cleanup?
Founded in Belgium by Thomas de Groote, River Cleanup focusses with its ‘River Warriors’ on:
- Cleaning thanks to a worldwide network of volunteers
- Informing people through workshops and lectures and make them conscious of this gigantic problem
- Transforming organisations such as Keytrade Bank to help them reduce their environmental impact.

Keytrade Bank never backs down from a challenge
Besides our financial support, our main concern is to raise awareness as employees of Keytrade Bank.
Through information sessions we have been all our employees’ awareness on this subject. Today, Keytrade Bank is gathering all its forces to participate to this challenge and to help River Cleanup in their goal to collect waste for 100.000 minutes. And mid-May, we won’t hesitate to put our feet into the water to clean the Brussels canal.
