The world cleans up. dataTec joins in.

On 17.09.2022, dataTec organised its own Cleanup Day and participated in this year's World Cleanup Day with this event. Almost 30 employees including partners and children were on site in Betzingen on Saturday and freed the surrounding industrial area from rubbish.

First of all, the day started with a supporting programme where adults and children could get information. With a waste game, in which waste had to be assigned to the yellow, brown, blue and grey bins, suitable colouring pictures, infographics and a waste memory, the topic of waste and waste avoidance was explained and sensitised.

Afterwards, four groups went out to collect rubbish in the surrounding area. The company dataTec was equipped with tongs and rubbish bags by the technical services of Reutlingen, gloves were provided by the organisation World Cleanup Day. The hard-working collectors were lucky with the weather: although the sky was overcast, it remained mostly dry during the collection period. Besides cigarette butts, countless ToGo cups and old masks, the groups found a discarded child seat and other unusual items.

At the end, everyone gathered again in the cafeteria of dataTec AG, where free food was served as a thank you for all participants. World Cleanup Day is an annual event in which groups around the world come together to clean up a wide variety of areas. In 2021, 14 million people in 191 countries took part in the action and removed 53,000 tonnes of waste from nature (source: World Cleanup Day.
