Your perfect companion for clearing nature of litter.

PATRON CLEANUP KIT

If you want to collect litter in nature, you need to be prepared - that's the only way to act. During the PATRON CleanUP Days, we therefore provide you with free equipment together with our partners.

YOUR KIT FOR YOUR CLEANUP.

A PATRON CleanUP Kit consists of a bin liner and reusable stainless steel tongs. Your advantages:

You can easily stow it in your rucksack.
You can protect yourself - because not all litter should be picked up by hand. You can also store it safely in your bag.
So you're well equipped if you see litter along the way.

With the CleanUP Bag, you have a choice: if you plan to go out more often, you can choose the Fabric CleanUP Bag, the reusable fabric bag. The Wild CleanUP Bag is recommended for anyone who wants to try out a CleanUP for themselves. This was specially designed for the PATRON CleanUP Days in cooperation with WILDPLASTIC®and is made from plastic collected from nature.

It's your choice - choose wisely.

Take part in a CleanUP &

take action.

Christian Böhm, board member of PATRON e.V. on the idea behind the Wild CleanUP Bag

Our reusable Fabric CleanUP Bags are great. They are robust and make a statement against single-use products. What's more, every participant can take the message of our CleanUP Days home with them and, ideally, reuse the equipment as often as possible. Unfortunately, it is currently difficult to obtain these fabric bags made from recycled material. In order to be able to offer our participants an alternative and to complement our portfolio of CleanUP equipment in a meaningful way, we came across the recycled bin liners from WILDPLASTIC®.
The missions of WILDPLASTIC® and PATRON e.V. complement each other perfectly in our eyes and we look forward to further developing our CleanUP kits together. Specifically, we like the idea of using a product made from waste from nature to collect more waste from nature.

Christian about the cooperation

It's a match!

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PATRON CLEANUP KIT.

Not quite sure what you need the CleanUP Kit for, which bag you should choose or where you can get one?
We've given it some thought and answered a few questions about the CleanUP Kit. So you don't have to think about it for long, you can simply set off and do something good for nature.

The Fabric CleanUP Bag (white fabric bag) can be used several times. After a CleanUP, you can simply wash it out and repack it for your next hike.

The Wild CleanUP Bag is easy to use and can be returned to the recycling cycle after your CleanUP.
The Fabric CleanUP Bag is made of polypropylene and is designed for multiple use. The fabric is tear-resistant and can also withstand larger or sharp objects. In our eyes, plastic is a great and high-quality material that is often wasted in the form of single-use plastic. We are therefore not fundamentally against plastic, but rather in favour of its sensible and sustainable use, including recycling, so that a circular economy can function.

The Wild CleanUP Bag is produced by WILDPLASTIC®and is made from recycled, wild plastic. The current batch, for example, was made from plastic collected from the wild in India. This means that during our CleanUp Days, wild plastic waste is now helping to collect even more plastic from the environment. Twice as good!

You can find out more about what exactly wild plastic is at WILDPLASTIC®.
- The Fabric CleanUP Bag measures approx. 60x40cm & has a volume of approx. 24 litres.
- The Wild CleanUP Bag is slightly larger with dimensions of 55x75cm & a volume of 35 litres.
No matter which CleanUP Bag you choose, you have enough space to collect litter during your tour. Even larger items such as pieces of metal, glass bottles or a woollen blanket fit inside.
Three steps required to produce the Wild CleanUP Bags:
1. Recover - In countries without adequate waste management systems, such as India and Indonesia, the wild plastic is collected and sorted by collectors. The material is then washed and shredded.
2. Refurbish - The wild plastic is then recycled and processed into granulate. Wild waste is thus turned back into a valuable resource.
3. Recycle - Next, the WILDPLASTIC® granulate is processed into circular products such as CleanUp Bags.
During the CleanUP Days, tourist information centres, tourism service providers, accommodation providers or other institutions in the respective region can register as CleanUP Kit distribution points. You will find these marked with a pair of tongs on the CleanUP Map. You can pick up your CleanUP Kit here during the specified opening hours in the respective CleanUP Days period.
Are you planning a private CleanUP outside of the CleanUP Days? Just send us an email with the number of CleanUP Kits you need, the type of CleanUP Bags and the address to which we should send the parcel. Thank you for your contribution to a clean nature! #youarepatron
Our Fabric CleanUP Bags are made of plastic and are intended for reuse. We therefore ask you not to dispose of them, but to wash them out and take them with you on your next hike.

The Wild CleanUP Bag is for single use, i.e. you can dispose of it with the rubbish you have collected.

You can also keep the stainless steel CleanUP tongs and keep them handy in your rucksack or jacket pocket for every hike in future.
The Fabric CleanUP Bag can be used several times - ‘because every day is cleanup day’. However, it would have to be used 7 times to achieve the same emissions as a WILD CleanUP Bag.

The Wild CleanUP Bag consists of up to 95% recycled material and approx. 85% less CO2 was produced in its manufacture than for a Fabric CleanUP Bag. Compared to conventional plastic waste bags, this represents a CO2 saving of up to 60%. Find out more about the life cycle analysis of WILDPLASTIC® bin liners here.
WILDPLASTIC®is a company from Hamburg and was founded with the mission of ridding the world of wild plastic waste. Wild plastic is all plastic that is found outside the closed recycling cycle in illegal landfills, in nature or on the streets. Together with partner organisations worldwide, WILDPLASTIC® collects this wild material and processes it into new circular products.

Five years ago, WILDPLASTIC® embarked on a wild journey with the idea of the WILDBAG - a rubbish bag made from wild plastic. A journey that crossed the #plasticfreepeaks movement and from which the Wild CleanUP Bag was born. We think: it's a perfect match.
