With MAQIT S.A., we’re turning support into real-world impact. Every kilogram of litter collected and every tree you fund, restores nature, protects biodiversity, reduces CO₂ and connects communities. Tracked, verified and celebrated; this is your measurable impact in action!
🧹 Cleanup Event Report
13 April 2026
* Based on Luxembourg's Environment Administration data: 1.6 kg of litter collected per resident per year.
Waste Breakdown
🚬 Cigarette Butt Impact
Each cigarette butt contains ~7,000 chemicals and can contaminate up to 1,000 litres of water. These butts will be recycled into urban furniture thanks to our partner Shime. Otherwise, they would take 10–15 years to decompose, releasing toxic microplastics into the environment.
On 13/04/2026 we collected 90 kg of litter, including 4,5 kg of recyclables (Valorlux bags), 53 kg of general waste and 32 kgs of wood and metal. According to Luxembourg’s Environment Administration, municipal cleaning services collect around 1,6 kg of litter per resident per year. With this cleanup, we removed the annual litter footprint of 56 people. Among the waste, we picked up around 1200 cigarette butts (6 lts in volume). Each butt contains about 7000 chemicals and can contaminate up to 1 000 liters of water. This cleanup potentially prevented the pollution of 1 200 000 liters of water! These butts will be recycled into urban furniture thanks to our partner Shime. Otherwise, they would have taken 10-15 years to decompose, releasing toxic microplastics into the environment. And with the CSFN tree planting program, these 90 kg also mean 90 new native trees planted!

🌳 Reforestation Sites
Mae Hong Son
📍 Mae Hong Son, Thailand
Mae Hong Son is a remote, mountainous province in northern Thailand. Forests in this region have been fragmented, destroying the natural habitat for a host of mammals, birds, and other local wildlife. Planting native species in denuded areas reconnects the forests, reversing fragmentation and rebuilding a large enough natural habitat for these species to once again thrive. A retired local teacher invites children from the village to learn about their natural surrounding and how to be stewards of the forest.

🔮 Projected Impact
🌿 Species Ecosystem Benefits
Soil Health
Improves the quality of the soil with nitrogen fixation and/or it reduces soil erosion from its extended root system.
Anti-wind
Protection from the wind helping other species flourish, and reducing water evaporation from the soil and topsoil erosion.
Biodiversity
Helps to restock various animal species, particularly polinators, thus helping to proliferate a diverse variety of flora and fauna overall.
Traditional Medicine
Produces leaves, roots, bark and/or fruit that is used in traditional medicine.
Products
Produces raw materials from flowers, fruit, leaves and/or bark that can be turned into products such as cosmetics, rope, dye or bio-fuel.
Canopy & Natural Fencing
Protection for crops and shade for livestock, and a natural demarcation of property or different land use areas.
