Yes! A brand new edition of the Eneco Clean Beach Cup is coming up in 2025, and it will be one not to be missed! Make a note: Sunday 23 March 2025.
Behind the scenes, we are busy preparing everything, but first we take a look back at the fantastic 2024 edition. Keep a close eye on this website, Instagram, and Facebook for more updates!
On Sunday 24 March 2024, we gathered for the 15th edition of the Eneco Clean Beach Cup. At the main location in Koksijde-Oostduinkerke and at no less than 17 sub locations, countless enthusiasts gathered to fight against litter on our beaches.
Thanks to your efforts, we managed to remove no less than 3,700 kg of litter from the beach again this year - a great contribution to a cleaner planet!
With a brisk breeze and lovely spring sunshine, the atmosphere was great, and thanks to your enthusiasm, it became another edition to remember. Brace yourselves for another edition in 2025 - we can't wait!
We are returning to Blankenberge in 2025! Blankenberge Beachclub will be our main location this year. Get ready for the biggest and most fun annual beach clean-up in the country. Remember 2023? Then Blankenberge was also our main location and we let seal Billy set off on his adventure back into the sea after several weeks of recovery at the Sea Life centre. Maybe he will come and say hello ;-) By the way, did you know that we are organising a Belgian Durfing Championship this year? And are you now like ‘Durfing? What the hell is that!' Then be sure to take a look at our social media because there we shared what durfing exactly is and how you might even become a Belgian champion at it by competing against none other than Arno The Kid! Will we see you there? We'll already provide a clean-up package for you.
A cleanup campaign more than needed if we want to give our marine wildlife a chance.
But Eneco Clean Beach Cups mission goes beyond just one action. Being an NGO, we strive each day to reach long-term solutions through open dialogue and international collaborations. Accessible and for everyone.
How much plastic waste will you collect?

Together, we are taking care of 2 500 m²
Nope, this time we're not referring to a giant pile of waste we've collected. Quite the opposite, we have some fantastic news for nature! Together with The Click and Natuurpunt, we will be planting no less than 2 500 m² of brand new forest on the 11th of November! And that's thanks to you!
With Eneco Clean Beach Cup, each year we pick up tons and tons of trash from our Belgian and Dutch beaches. A crucial act for the animals and surfers who spend many hours on those exact beaches. This year we collectively cleaned up over 5,000 kilograms of trasj. The majority of that trash gets recycled with the help of our long time partner Renewi, but this year we kept a portion of the trash for a special project...
Read morePlogging. It's an amalgamation of the Swedish words 'plocka upp' and 'jogga'. The second word is obvious and means jogging. Plocka upp means to collect or pick up. Combined, this then becomes Plogging and means picking up waste while jogging (or walking 😉).
