Plastic Whale B.V. is an Amsterdam-based social enterprise that organizes plastic fishing and cleanup experiences on waterways and beaches. The company offers guided trips for primary schools, high schools, student groups, and corporate teams, combining hands-on environmental action with education and team building.
Trips use unique boats built from recycled PET bottles, and experienced skippers lead participants on canal and river routes designed to collect plastic waste and highlight local pollution issues. Programs include two-hour competitive "plasticvissen" for schools, corporate plastic fishing in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and organized beach cleanups focused on winter events with hot drinks and team activities.
Each experience includes expert guidance, safety measures appropriate to group composition, and concluding award ceremonies that recognize participant efforts. Plastic Whale B.V. operates from Amsterdam in Noord-Holland and adapts itineraries for urban canals, rivers such as the Rotte, and coastal beach locations.
Activities are suitable for educational curricula and corporate outings seeking meaningful outdoor experiences. The company emphasizes measurable action—collecting visible waste from waterways—and public engagement through shared discovery of recovered items. As a recognized provider of community cleanup experiences, Plastic Whale B.V. connects environmental education with practical impact.
