A 3-year expedition to find and share solutions
On October 1st, 2022, the M/V Plastic Odyssey Vessel set sail from Marseille for a 3-year expedition. It is headed for regions most affected by plastic pollution. On board the laboratory ship, 20 explorers have been tasked with finding concrete solutions to combat plastic pollution.
Plastic Odyssey is a collective of actors committed to reducing plastic pollution in the Ocean. Companies, associations, researchers, schools… All share the same desire: to act to reduce plastic pollution on the planet, taking into account the central factor of any transition: humans.
