We tackle it! So that the garbage does not overflow the rivers: MoselleCleanUp 2023

We support you on our big day of action - Saturday, September 9th - or whenever you want to get involved with the environment!

What we do?

Every year vast amounts of trash reach the oceans. Million tons of plastic pollute our nature. Most of it reaches the oceans via the rivers, particularly in Asia, but also in Europe. We have to prevent this from happening! 

We clean the Mosel from source to ending. 

Together with our partners we want to free the riverside of the Mosel from trash. We aim to build and raise awareness among people not to throw trash away without thinking of the consequences for our rivers, oceans and our nature at large.

cigarette butt week

Every cigarette butt that is carelessly or deliberately disposed of on the street or in nature poisons bodies of water and animals. That's why we collect a week Cigarette butts - on the banks of rivers, in parks or in playgrounds.

What cigarettes do to our nature, how much water a single fag can poison, what you (also as a smoker) can do, That's why we collect a week Cigarette butts - on the banks of rivers, in parks or in playgrounds. You can find that on our website or you can find out from us in a direct conversation.

The Moselle is close to Stefan Wilkening's heart

His face and his voice are well known from television and theater audiences.
The native Moselaner Stefan Wilkening comes from Hatzenport and comes back to his home village again and again, in order to compile e.g. texts and audio books.
As a passionate supporter he is joining us already for the second time, together with his buddies from Hatzenport.
This time he stands as a testimonial for the MCU 2022, many thanks for it and have fun!

These are the Moselle wine majesties

The mission of the social lottery is to create a better world for us humans and to preserve our planet. The RhineCleanUp not only strengthens social togetherness, but also triggers a rethinking of environmental pollution and its associated consequences. After our employees have already actively supported the big "Rhine CleanUp" in 2018, 2019 and 2020, with the help of our participants we are again financially supporting the project from source to mouth this year. In addition to measures to promote the campaign, work equipment such as trash bags, high-visibility vests, gloves and grabs will be provided for the many thousands of helpers to clean up Germany's second-largest river and its tributaries. And the best thing about it is that anyone can join in and make their contribution to a clean environment.
