The month of September is traditionally marked by World Clean Up Day in Belgium. Like many companies in the chemical industry, Monument Chemical also organized a clean-up campaign as part of the Port Clean Up Challenge 2024 of Port of Antwerp-Bruges. Several teams of colleagues departed from Monument’s parking lot and set out to collect litter in the immediate vicinity. In total, no less than 8 full garbage bags were collected. A big thank you to all colleagues and the young “Moncheys” for their efforts in cleaning up a large part of the Ketenislaan!

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Natuurpunt and Mooimakers join forces every year for this major clean-up campaign. In 2023, between 100 and 150 tonnes of litter and 50 to 100 tonnes of floating debris were collected from the port. Companies from the region play a key role in this and together make a big difference to nature and the port.
