Logistics company’s international initiative helps to remove ten metric tons of ocean plastic through CleanHub partnership<\/p>\n

Lauterach, Austria–(Newsfile Corp. – November 7, 2025) – The fourth edition of Gebr\u00fcder Weiss’s international cycling initiative, GWcycles<\/a>, set a new record this year, with about 800 cyclists logging 1,047,998 kilometers (about 651,200 miles). That’s the equivalent of more than 26 trips around the world. Last year, participants covered 768,800 kilometers (477,710 miles), with 600 riders taking part. Cycling enthusiasts from across the globe not only boosted their own fitness but also contributed to ocean conservation.<\/p>\n

Under the motto “Cycling for the Seas,” the logistics company encouraged participants to log as many kilometers as possible between April and October. For every 100,000 kilometers ridden, the company pledged to fund the removal of one metric ton of plastic waste from rivers and coastal areas in Southeast Asia. Thanks to the remarkable total of over one million kilometers, ten tons of waste will be collected by the end of the year. Gebr\u00fcder Weiss partnered with CleanHub, a Berlin-based environmental technology company that builds sustainable waste management systems in heavily polluted regions.<\/p>\n

“Cycling makes a difference, for yourself and for the environment. That’s what our GWcycles initiative stands for,” said Frank Haas, Head of Marketing & Communications at Gebr\u00fcder Weiss. “It also shows the power of community. We’re proud of our growing global cycling community, which continues to come together across borders in support of environmental protection<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

To keep motivation high, Gebr\u00fcder Weiss once again offered attractive prizes for milestone achievements and published a leaderboard ranking participants by distance covered. This year’s top cyclist was Kristian Buljan from Germany, who completed 19,022 kilometers.<\/p>\n
