Toshiba Tec Enters Partnership with CleanHub

Neuss/Germany, January 2025 

 

Toshiba Tec in Europe is pleased to announce its new partnership with CleanHub, an innovative Berlin-based company focused on preventing plastic waste from entering our oceans. This collaboration underlines our strong commitment to sustainability and addressing environmental challenges.

 

A Shared Mission for a Cleaner Future

Through this collaboration, Toshiba Tec is supporting CleanHub’s mission to prevent 10 million tonnes of mismanaged plastic waste by 2030. CleanHub specialises in setting up collection points in high-risk coastal regions, mainly in South and Southeast Asia, to intercept plastic waste before it reaches the ocean. To date, CleanHub has recovered more than 8 million kilograms of plastic waste, demonstrating the tangible impact of their efforts.

Guided by our commitment, “Committed to People, Committed to the Future,” Toshiba Group addresses global social and environmental challenges through innovation and sustainability. As part of our Environmental Future Vision 2050, Toshiba Tec has committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its value chain by 2050. This vision is grounded in three pillars:

  • Response to climate change: Promoting renewable energy, energy-saving technologies and low-carbon products.
  • Response to the circular economy: Enhancing resource efficiency, reducing waste and creating circular business models.
  • Consideration of ecosystems: Managing chemicals, conserving water and protecting biodiversity.


Transparency and Impact

CleanHub’s TÜV SÜD-approved platform ensures full traceability of the collected plastic waste, providing real-time tracking and certification of recovery efforts. This pioneering system aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), including:

UN SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

UN SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

UN SDG 14: Life Below Water



Empowering Communities

By collaborating with local communities, CleanHub not only protects the environment but also creates dignified work opportunities for over 100,000 households in underserved areas. Their work contributes to breaking the social stigma around waste management and ensuring that collected plastic is processed sustainably and responsibly.
