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.

The Clean Up campaigns will be held in each city between 10.00 and 14.00.

9 years of NIKIN - 9 years of learning, growing, trying things out
2016: Two childhood friends meet for a beer - with an idea in mind. They want to sell products and give something back to nature in the process. Nine years later, this idea has become a movement. Over 2.5 million trees planted later, we ask ourselves: what has happened during this time? What moments, what learnings, what mistakes? We asked our founders Robin and Nicholas and collected their most important lessons for you.
Our tree planting project in October and November: hazelnut trees for Bhutan
Intact nature, a living culture and a very unique understanding of happiness - in the middle of the Himalayas lies Bhutan, probably the most sustainable (and happiest) country in the world. This is exactly where we are supporting a new project together with One Tree Planted in October and November. The aim of the project is to reforest degraded mountain slopes, bind CO₂ and at the same time strengthen the livelihoods of small farming families.
Giving with meaning: the NIKIN Gift Guide 2025 is here
When the days get shorter, fairy lights adorn the windows and the scent of cinnamon and fir trees wafts through the streets, it's Christmas time. For many, the search for the perfect gift begins now, and ideally it should be one that does something good. Our NIKIN Gift Guide is available again this year for exactly this purpose.
