Clean rivers to save oceans

In April 2021, a study published in Sciences Advances revealed that 80% of the plastic waste that is deposited in the Earth's oceans comes from just 100 rivers. This means the origin of this serious pollution problem begins long before reaching the sea: inland, in pockets of garbage, such as large cities.

Biotherm's 'Clean Rivers, Save Oceans' project aims to start at the source of the problem: collect waste found on river banks to prevent the so-called 'trash beauty' from ending up in marine ecosystems. VERY INTERESTING has been moved to one of these cleaning points in the vicinity of the Jarama River.
