Silent Plogging Join a cleanup

Where your sponsorship goes

Taking part is free for volunteers. Sponsors cover what makes a silent plogging day happen.

  • Three live DJs

    They play for the whole cleanup, one per headphone channel.

  • Silent disco headphones

    Wireless headphones with three channels for every participant.

  • T-shirts with your logo

    Printed for every volunteer and worn in every photo. In summer, caps and small gifts too.

  • Litter pickers, bags and scales

    Everything to collect, sort and weigh the waste safely, including the group weigh-in at the end.

  • Healthy aperitif

    Alcohol-free drinks and healthy snacks for everyone at the party after the cleanup.

  • Organisation and promotion

    Permits, coordination, photos, video and communication before and after the day.

Why we do it

From a distance, beaches and parks look clean. Up close you find cigarette butts, bottle caps and fragments of plastic that sooner or later reach the sea.

  1. 7%

    of the world's microplastics

    are in the Mediterranean, a sea that holds only 1% of the planet's water. [1]

  2. 26.1 kg

    of plastic per km of coast, every day

    build up on the shore of Barcelona, our first city: the second-highest figure in the Mediterranean. [2]

  3. 60

    million cigarette butts

    collected in international coastal cleanups since 1986. They are the most common item of all. [3]

  4. 1

    cigarette butt per litre of water

    is enough to kill half of the fish exposed to it in laboratory tests. [4]

  5. +40%

    more litter in summer

    reaches the Mediterranean when more than 200 million tourists visit its coasts. [1]
