LAGERBOX supports KRAKE e.V. with a free storage unit for one year
LAGERBOX continues its social engagement and support for community well-being projects. As part of a new cooperation, the company is now providing the association KRAKE e.V. (Kölner Rhein-Aufräum-Kommando-Einheit) with a free-of-charge storage unit in Cologne for one year. It will be used by the committed members of the association for the temporary storage of their equipment, which they use for regular clean-up events and environmental protection projects. This partnership underscores once more how LAGERBOX puts its social and sustainable principles into practice.
LAGERBOX as a partner for community projects
By providing KRAKE e.V. with a free storage unit, LAGERBOX shows that the company is not only a reliable provider of self-storage solutions but also an active supporter of socially and ecologically relevant projects. The decision to provide the free storage unit for one year is part of the company’s strategy that involves assuming social responsibility and fostering sustainable projects.
The storage unit in Cologne provides KRAKE e.V. with the means to securely store their equipment and materials at a central location, which they require for their many environmental clean-up events. They have already started putting boxes of gloves, grabbers, and rubbish bags into storage there – some of the items used by the clean-up crews sent out by the association. These events are aimed at people of all ages and they take place regularly in and around Cologne, even in winter. For this reason, KRAKE e.V. also stores patio heaters, gazebos, and parasols in the storage unit, enabling them to work effectively, even in bad weather conditions.
KRAKE e.V. – a high-impact association
KRAKE e.V. is not just an environmental association but an increasingly important player working to protect the environment and to keep Cologne clean. To do so, the association works in close cooperation with the city of Cologne and is garnering increasing media attention for its innovative approaches to rubbish prevention and removal.
Innovative projects of KRAKE e.V.: rubbish trap and other environmental events
The “rubbish trap” is a particularly noteworthy invention that KRAKE has developed: A swimming robot that is deployed on the Rhine and that collects rubbish before it floats further downstream. This technology is an important step to ensuring that the Rhine stays clean.
The Rhine: the focus of of KRAKE e.V.’s environmental protection measures
In North Rhine-Westphalia, anything that isn’t properly disposed of ends up in the Rhine and therefore the association places particular emphasis on cleaning up the river. Whether it’s plastic waste or tiny but highly toxic objects, like cigarette butts, the rubbish in the Rhine not only has a negative impact on the body of water itself but on the entire regional ecosystem. KRAKE e.V. is addressing the root cause of the problem and is bringing public awareness of the waste problem to the forefront.
Successful environmental initiatives: 70,000 collected cigarette butts
Last Saturday, an impressive example of the commitment of KRAKE e.V. could be witnessed on Ebertplatz. In the course of just one event, the association’s volunteers collected 70,000 cigarette butts! Cigarette butts are particularly problematic because they contain toxic chemicals that enter the environment through soil and water and cause enormous damage.
Free storage unit from LAGERBOX: A crucial factor for KRAKE e.V.
The storage space provided by LAGERBOX in Cologne plays a central role in the work of the association. Without a suitable space to securely store equipment, the many clean-up events that KRAKE e.V. regularly organises would not be possible. The equipment needed for these events comprise not only gloves and rubbish bags but also bulkier items like gazebos, patio heaters, and parasols, which are used for events taking place in winter.
The possibility of renting storage space at no extra cost gives the association the leeway it needs to successfully navigate logistical challenges. Instead of investing valuable time and resources into searching for storage options, KRAKE e.V. can fully concentrate on its main task: protecting and cleaning up the environment.
Future-oriented social engagement
The cooperation between LAGERBOX and KRAKE e.V. is a prime example of successful social engagement. LAGERBOX is not only supporting an association that makes valuable contributions to protecting the environment, it is also highlighting how companies can work hand in hand with non-profit organisations to achieve great things together.
Next KRAKE e.V. in Ahrtal: anyone can help
The next big event of KRAKE e.V. is planned for 27 October. This time, they will be in the Ahrtal, where the river Ahr flows into the Rhine. It was in this region that a devastating flooding took place in 2021, the consequences of which are still felt today. The association will be there with a clean-up crew and everyone is invited to get involved. Prior registration is not necessary. Anyone wanting to help should think to bring proper footwear, gloves, and a pair of grabbers.
Events like these show that KRAKE e.V.’s activities do not stop in Cologne, making a positive impact way beyond the city limits. For anyone wanting to get involved, the association’s website, krake.koeln, offers more information on upcoming events and on how to get involved.
