Prevent indisposables

MISSION INDISPOSABLE 2020

The plastic problem is becoming bigger every year, but the production of plastic just keeps increasing. This has severe consequences on the nature and environment. That is why we want to reduce the use of plastic and open the drinking water tap. We have set a goal for 2020: to prevent 20 million plastic single-use bottles and to donate 20 million litres of drinking water to people who need it.

20.000.000
litres of water we want to donate

We donate 1000 times the content of a Retulp bottle in drinking water to developing countries.

20.000.000

If you regularly use a reusable bottle, you save on dozens of indisposables a year.

Will you join us?

Yes, I’m a consumer Yes, I have a company Yes, I’m a retailer

You can’t change the world on your own: that is why we want to make the Mission Indisposable 2020 possible with at least 20 companies. Shops contribute by selling Retulp bottles and thermoses. As for companies, they help by ordering and handing out Retulp bottles with their logo on them. We hope to reach the 20/20 goals by the end of 2019. That will call for a huge celebration and announcement. Help us too and join the wave! They have already joined us:

“The Retulp products really fit Fonq’s image. The beautiful and simple, but also practical design make the Retulp bottle the perfect gift for yourself or for someone else.”

“At Kingcanary, we are constantly thinking about the footprint we will leave behind. Then, we found Retulp. It does not just carry a beautiful message, but it is also a really beautiful bottle.”

“It is great that for every Retulp product we sell, we contribute to getting drinking water in a place where they really need it. A product with a beautiful message.” Says Jeroen from FairForward.

“Dille en Kamille has been choosing the power of simplicity and timeless beauty from natural materials since 1974. We can see that clearly in the stainless steel bottles and cups that were designed for our shops together with Retulp. Since sustainability is key here at Dille & Kamille, we really support a brand like Retulp.”

“Bring a piece of the Netherlands home, that’s what our customers like about the Retulp bottles!”

“With the Retulp bottles, printed with our logo, our customers save on a lot of plastic. In the restaurant, they can get a refill in their mug or bottle and that ensures our customers always come back!”

“The reason we chose the Retulp bottles for our company Christmas gifts is that Retulp’s philosophy really matches with Foenix. We assign a lot of importance to the circular economy.” says Ellis from Foenix.

“We are very happy to have Retulp as an ambassador of the clean drinking water donations. That is why we also chose to order printed bottles. It is a win-win!”

“It is nice that Retulp had bottles made with a special colour and our logo on them, just for us. It is great to be able to sell such a personalised product in our shops.”

“We have given our engraved Retulp bottles as a gift to our customers and colleagues. A nice gift that can hopefully help us inspire each other to be a more sustainable Mensely.”

“Hip and sustainable, who doesn’t want that? That is the reason we chose Retulp Tumblers as our TOPdesk Christmas gift.”

“Sustainability is an important value for Appèl. Since we try to offer alternatives to packaging whenever and wherever we can, the Retulp mugs are an asset to our organisation. Also, the refill offer with this mug works really well too!”

“We want all of the Netherlands to be litter-free. The Retulp bottles and mugs contribute to this, of course. That is why we thought the printed Retulp bottles would be a fitting thank you gift for our employees. We also like the fact that Retulp supports and sponsors small-scale clean-up operations.”

“Besides the fact that the Retulp bottles look really nice in our stores, there is also a cool story behind them! With every bottle we sell at a WAAR store, Retulp drinking water donates to Made Blue. That is truly a great gift with a great story!” says Keoma from WAAR Nederland.

The water bottles from Retulp are vitalized at Aqua-Aurora and give a positive vibration frequency to the content of the water bottles and thus ensure a delicious fresh drinking water full of life energy. By using the bottles you contribute to a cleaner environment.

Very happy with the design!
Our motto is: “WiFi is important, but we really need water”

At Interface, we’re convinced a fundamental change needs to happen in our global response to climate change. We need to stop just thinking about how to limit the damage caused by climate change. Retulp has a similar mission and together we can start thinking about how to create a climate fit for life.

Why Mission Indisposable 2020?

Retulp aims to avoid single use plastic. And that is desperately needed! Fortunately, there are super handy alternatives to disposable plastics, such as a reusable water bottle. Yet 500.000 (water)bottles are thrown away every day in the Netherlands. With Mission Indisposable 2020 we want to ensure that the plastictap closes more and the drinking watertap is opened.

About Retulp

Mission Indisposable 2020 is an initiative of Retulp, in collaboration with various partners. Retulp wants to ensure that plastic waste in nature and our oceans is greatly reduced. We offer handy and reusable alternatives to single use items and provide information at schools and do awareness campaigns and clean-up campaigns.

We carry out this mission together with “The Zero Waste Project” and “MVO Nederland”.

Also participate as a distributor of Retulp bottles or have your company print Retulp bottles. Request the free book from us: ” Het Zero Waste Project – Een leuker leven met minder plastic”. More information about the book:
