City to Ocean is a Belgian NGO committed to making waterways cleaner, greener, and alive! From the center of Brussels to the sea, we work to reduce pollution, stop sewage overflows, and restore biodiversity.
Every year, more than 1,700 people join our kayak cleanups, removing thousands of kilos of trash. But cleaning up alone isn't enough. That's why we've partnered with Bambaw to invest in long-term solutions through sustainable products that fund our conservation efforts!
