NIKIN Clean Up Day
September 18, 2021
What is Clean Up Day?
Clean Up Day is a global day of action in which dedicated volunteers clear the environment of garbage. It takes place on the third Saturday in September.
The aim of NIKIN Clean Up Day is to raise awareness and sensitize the Swiss population to the problem of waste and thus achieve sustainable change.
The aim is to motivate people to reduce their daily waste and to work towards a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
To increase the incentive and counteract the CO2 emissions of waste incineration, NIKIN plants one Tree for every kilogram of waste.

A Christmas tradition with a future: Why we cut down trees and how things could be different
Think back to your childhood. Was there always a Christmas tree in the living room at Christmas time? For many people, it's simply part of Christmas. But where does this custom come from, and why do we cut down millions of trees every year, only to dispose of them a few weeks later? In this blog, we delve into the history of the Christmas tree, look beyond our own horizons to other countries, and show you what alternatives there are.
Our tree planting project in December: We return to Brazil and increase our impact
Do you remember the tree planting project in Brazil that is NIKIN special to NIKIN , which even Carla and Nicholas actively helped with on site last December? If not, we'll give you a refresher in this blog – because exactly one year later, we are back in Sete Lagoas, in the heart of the Brazilian Cerrado. The project is entering its next phase—and this time it will be even bigger, more diverse, and more effective.
Our review of NIKIN in 2025
Another year is coming to an end. A year that we will not soon forget. In 2025, we at NIKIN made NIKIN come true, launched new innovations, planted over 300,000 trees, and discussed, raved about, and tasted mushrooms, forests, circularity, and coffee with you. And as we do every year, we would like to use these last few days to look back on our highlights and give you a little preview of what 2026 has in store. Spoiler alert: it's going to be big.
