to reduce plastic pollution
To prepare for the expedition that will take us around the world, Plastic Odyssey traveled to Burkina Faso, Thailand, Egypt, and Lebanon to meet men and women who are conducting experiments on the use and recycling of plastic.
To demonstrate that successful solutions for turning plastic waste into a valuable resource exist, Plastic Odyssey created Ulysse in 2018: a catamaran that navigates thanks to plastic waste turned into fuel.
Ulysse sailed around France to raise awareness concerning plastic pollution and to vividly manifest the success of its low-tech solution.
