Plastic Odyssey is recruiting a second captain to start 2/2 month rotations from mid-December 2024. Join us on our round-the-world adventure to combat plastic pollution!

Presentation
The M/V Plastic Odyssey, the first ship to act as an ambassador for solutions to reduce plastic pollution, left Marseille on 1 October 2022 on a 3-year expedition to 30 countries to meet recycling entrepreneurs and develop local initiatives to reduce and recycle plastic waste.

Currently in South-East Asia, the Plastic Odyssey ship will sail along the coasts of South-East Asia, before heading for India and East and South Africa before returning to France in early 2026. The ship’s programme is divided between stopovers of 2 to 3 weeks each, interspersed with cruises of 5 to 10 days depending on the area.

The ship carries a team of experts on recycling and reducing the use of plastic, and operates a demonstration workshop on board. Each crew member is strongly encouraged to take part in the recycling activities as well as the workshops and trips organised during the stopovers.
