Excessive production of waste, illegal landfills and waste in the wild have been a global problem for a long time. Currently, 322 million tons more plastic is produced than in 1950. Up to a tenth of this amount ends up in the sea as waste. However, the problem of plastic pollution does not only concern the oceans and seas – waste can also be found to a large extent in European rivers.

The Tid(y)Up project is an international environmental project led by the main partner from Hungary, where, in cooperation with other foreign partners, we try to reduce water pollution by plastics and in this way improve the water quality in the Tisa River (the Bodrog River is its tributary) and the lower section of the river Danube.
