For a Cleaner Archipelago

Keep the Archipelago Tidy keeps the archipelago tidy and gives advice on environmental issues. Nordkalk is a longtime sponsor of the organization.

Keep the Archipelago Tidy (Pidä Saaristo Siistinä ry) is a nationwide non-profit organization that has been active in environment protection in many fields already for 40 years: waste collection, recycling, information and education.

- Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association is best known for its nearly 200 Rubbish Seal waste recycling bins in different parts of Finland, where boaters can bring their waste. In addition, the organization has approximately 200 earth closets dry toilets and about 30 pump out stations, tells the Secretary General, Esko Sorakunnas.

- Besides the concrete work, which is to collect and recycle pleasure-boat generated waste we are also active in environmental education.
