Plastic Odyssey is recruiting – join the 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 from Cambodia to the Philippines, then on to India and East and South Africa before returning to France in early 2026.
