Finally, our legendary RiverSavers – Capt. Plastix, Prof. Greenheart, Pete, Lisa, PJ the PlaticpiRAT and many others…
Within the “5 Countries, 1 River” Erasmus+ program, three educational materials and a fairy tale were created. The target audience is children aged 6–10, but since river protection is a challenge for all of us, we also confidently recommend them for students aged 10–14. In fact, it is quite possible that after completing certain tasks, […]
And some videos about how we clean up the Tisza from plastic pollution

It all began during the Covid period. During the pandemic, with lockdowns and restrictions on gatherings, when we couldn’t go out to the riverbanks, what could we do to protect our rivers? We gathered and organized the knowledge we had gained so far and turned it into educational materials. But our own experience was not […]
You can start your own River Litter Lab
Within the framework of the 5in1 program, we created the Mobile Mini Plastic Workshop — an interactive exhibition space that travels from town to town. Its mission is to present the problem of river pollution, showcase possible solutions, and demonstrate ways to recycle river plastics. Alongside the workshop, we created the 4M Construction and User […]
The time has come for you to join in!
But how can a river actually be saved? Is there some sort of guide for it? And what does “plastic literacy” mean? You will find answers to questions like these in the books and videos developed within our projects. They provide not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience and field tips. They offer ideas […]
In the Danube River Basin, we started to train RiverSavers
The river Tisza, which originates in Ukraine, is among the most polluted rivers in the European Union. It flows through five countries before joining the Danube, carrying its waste all the way to the Black Sea. These five countries are Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia. Numerous tributaries from these countries also feed into the […]
The Plastic Cup project is all about cleaning the river
More than 10 years ago, the Plastic Cup team set the goal of collecting waste with the help of volunteers, allowing clean river water to flow downstream. In the early years, the main focus was on building boats from plastic bottles and collecting litter during the competition. The Plastic Cup volunteers, the “Plastic pirates,” fought […]
The river Tisza is polluted with a lot of plastic
Plastic pollution affects all surface waters worldwide. According to data, at least 80% of marine debris reaches the seas through rivers. Trash illegally dumped along riverbanks is lifted by periodically rising waters and washed into the riverbed. Some of the waste sinks, but the lighter materials — mostly plastic — remain afloat and begin their […]
