The new on-trend sport is now being trialled as a pilot project as part of the University Sports program, with start-up financing from the Sustainability funding pot1.

The term “plogging” is a combination of the words “jogging” and “plocka upp,” which is Swedish for “pick up.” All participants are provided with trash bags and gloves to be able to collect as much litter as possible along the way.
