Wood Bricks will be released
The releases will occur in two phases: November 2024 (during the rainy season) and Summer 2025, with 10,000 bricks released at 24 locations in the waterways of Lemvig and Varde, Denmark. All found and registered bricks will be mapped to track and understand their movement.
Research and Innovation
The aim of releasing wood bricks into the water is to gain insights into how plastic objects and other waste move through our rivers, streams, creeks, and fjords to the ocean, allowing us to identify critical hotspots for targeted intervention.
Our Mission
Every year, 20,000 tons of waste end up in the North Sea—85% of it is plastic, and 70% comes from rivers and streams. We're here to stop it.
An EU Initiative to Prevent Plastic Pollution from Reaching the Ocean
TREASURE is an EU collaboration involving Denmark, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, aimed at mapping plastic pollution, specifically macroplastic (plastic pieces larger than 0.5 cm), in rivers, streams, creeks, and fjords to prevent it from flowing into the ocean. Lemvig Vand and KIMO Denmark are leading the plastic program of TREASURE in Denmark.
