Gifts with impact against plastic waste
Retulp works every day to reduce litter and plastic in the ocean. With smart, reusable products, we make it easy for you to choose sustainable instead of disposable. Think of reusable drinking bottles, lunch boxes and coffee cups that not only look good, but also really make a difference. For example, as sustainable staff gifts or corporate gifts. Because every product you choose from Retulp replaces hundreds of disposable containers and contributes to clean drinking water for people who desperately need it. Now that's a gift with impact.
We do more than just make products. Retulp also organizes projects to raise awareness. For example, we educate in schools and help young people understand what plastic waste does to our nature.
With our mission Mission Indisposable we show that sustainable can also be fun, stylish and practical. Whether you choose a drinking bottle for yourself, a printed lunchbox for your colleagues or a whole load of sustainable staff gifts for an event: you are always contributing to a bigger story.
SROI and CSR procurement for large companies
More and more large companies are looking to buy consciously by 2025. Not just to meet an SROI obligation, but to really contribute to sustainability and social value. With Retulp, that's easy to achieve. Our reusable drinking bottles, cups and lunch products replace thousands of disposable containers and encourage sustainable behavior in the workplace.
Moreover, for every bottle sold, Retulp donates 1,000 times the content to clean drinking water and part of the proceeds go to charity. So with one purchase you make direct social and ecological impact. As a certified Social Enterprise and member of MVO Nederland, our products meet the requirements for social return. We deliver customized solutions, clear reports and fast delivery - perfect for companies that want to make their purchasing conscious and their CSR policy concrete. Read more

Fighting plastic soup in 2025: from drinking bottles and coffee cups to bags and pouches
Retulp wants to make even more of a difference in the fight against plastic pollution by 2025. Our goal: to greatly reduce disposable plastic such as drinking bottles, plastic bags and packaging bags. The so-called plastic soup in the sea continues to grow, and the impact on nature, animals and our food chain is worrying. We believe the first step lies in prevention. Throw away less, reuse more. After all, prevention is much, much better than recycling - and also much more effective.
Why it is still necessary in 2025
More and more plastic is floating in our oceans and seas. Weathering, sunlight and wave action cause it to break down into microplastics, which are then eaten by fish, seabirds and even plankton. The ocean covers 72% of the earth's surface, is an important source of oxygen and a primary source of food for billions of people. If we do not take action by 2025, plastic pollution will further damage this crucial function. Plastic does not digest and releases harmful substances. Most litter comes from the land - through streets, roadsides, rivers and eventually the sea. Even on land itself, plastic has a disastrous impact on animals and ecosystems.
Facts that show why action in 2025 is more urgent than ever:
-
About 80% of all marine waste comes from land.
-
Only 1% of plastic worldwide is recycled.
-
About 50% of all plastic is immediately thrown away after a single use.
-
In some ocean areas, there is 36x more plastic than plankton.
-
Every year, 1,000,000 seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic in the sea.
-
About 36% of all consumer fish contains plastic.
-
Litter often comes from recreational users, traffic participants and young people.
-
Much waste is found along highways, parking lots and in natural areas.
What you can do in 2025 - and hopefully no longer need to do in 2026
Using reusable alternatives is one of the most powerful choices you can make. Think refillable drink bottles, reusable lunch boxes, shopping bags and pouches made from sustainable materials. By using these daily, you are structurally reducing your own plastic footprint.
In the Netherlands we are lucky to have top quality tap water - cheap, healthy and environmentally friendly. If everyone drinks tap water more often instead of buying plastic bottles of water, we will save mountains of unnecessary plastic per day by 2025. Retulp makes reuse attractive, smart and impactful.
