Nanda
Operational Manager"I believe children have the future because they see the world with fresh eyes. By teaching them how to reuse and recycle materials, we give them the tools to build a cleaner, greener future. Together with them, we can create a world where waste does not exist, but where everything gets a new life."

Tania
International business manager & Projectmanager"You can't start creating awareness young enough, we want to make that possible in as many countries as possible!"
Daan
Projectmanager"Why do we throw away products when you can reuse it? In the circular economy, waste and creativity are each other's best friends! By giving materials and products a second, third or even fourth life, we reduce the pressure on our natural resources and encourage innovation. Together, we can create a world where reuse is normal and waste belongs to the past!"

Anne-Marie Rakhorst - Ambassador
Anne-Marie Rakhorst is a renowned entrepreneur, investor and publicist in the field of sustainability. She is founder and owner of Duurzaamheid.nl, founded Search Ingenieursbureau and spearheaded the '17 goals you share' initiative, which introduces the Netherlands to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Anne-Marie underlines the importance of the E-waste Race and Textile Race: "Children are the leaders of tomorrow. With their open minds and strong sense of justice, they get to the heart of what is really important in the world better than adults. It is precisely by providing them with information in a playful way that we create a great impact. Because children automatically make the rest of the family and their grandparents enthusiastic. At the same time, the Textile Race ensures that all the textiles that are collected are not burned, but returned to the cycle. This combination contributes enormously to a circular textile chain and such a great initiative I gladly support!"
