To mark World Environment Day on 5 June, ALPLA is making donations to NGOs and initiating employee activities.
In what has become something of a valued tradition for many ALPLA employees, clean-up campaigns and environmental protection activities will be taking place at many of the 181 plants in 46 countries on World Environment Day.

ALPLA Nature Clean-up
Jedes Jahr beteiligen sich weltweit hunderte ALPLA Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter anlässlich des Weltumwelttages am 5. Juni an Flurreinigungen. 2020 verzögern sich die Aktivitäten aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie bis in den Herbst, sollen unter den geforderten Sicherheitsvorkehrungen aber in allen Regionen stattfinden. // Every year, hundreds of ALPLA employees worldwide take part in clean-up campaigns to mark World Environment Day on 5 June. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the activities will extend into autumn in 2020, but are set to take place in all the regions subject to the necessary safety precautions.
Management is calling upon staff to get active – as long as the current situation allows them to do so and the health of those who take part is not put at risk.
“The clean-ups will therefore extend into autumn, but this is by no means affecting the employees’ level of commitment,” says a motivated Christoph Hoffmann, Director of Strategy, Sustainability & Circular Economy, following initial feedback from the ALPLA regions.
ALPLA is also supporting three organisations financially. The idea behind the non-profit organisation One Tree Planted is simple – plant a tree and do the environment and climate some good and protect biodiversity.
ALPLA is making it possible for 5,000 saplings to be planted. The plastics specialist is additionally making a donation to The Great Bubble Barrier and to Plastic Collective.
The Great Bubble Barrier has set itself the goal of freeing rivers and canals of waste plastic with the help of a barrier created out of bubbles, while Plastic Collective is helping to make materials recycling a recognised and viable business model in remote or disadvantaged regions through training and by providing the necessary equipment.
