AK-Ships recently sponsored a successful coastal cleanup at Abu Qir East Beach, Alexandria, in observance of World Cleanup Day. Organized by Banlastic and supported by the Egyptian Ministry of Environment, the event saw over 120 volunteers collecting 39 kg of plastic containers, 21 kg of bags, 11 kg of paper, 19 kg of glass, 7k cigarette butts (destined to be recycled into bean bags), and 1.5k water caps in just one hour.

The initiative highlighted the environmental dangers of plastic pollution, drawing spontaneous participation from beachgoers. By preserving one of Alexandria’s most historic beaches, this initiative underscores the growing need for action against marine pollution.
