International Day of Action for Rivers
Research has shown that 80% of litter found in oceans, originates inland. Due to human behaviour of littering and lack of waste management, waste finds its way into rivers which eventually lead to our oceans.
The plastics industry and partners are taking action by identifying river catchment areas in the various provinces and assisting with solutions to the problem of litter in our waterways.
International Day of Action for Rivers is annually observed on March 14 for the following purposes:
- To highlight the importance of rivers in our lives.
- To raise awareness about how freshwater ecosystems like rivers are increasingly being polluted due to human activities.
- To promote and safeguard equitable access to clean and flowing water.
