The Plastic Odyssey team travels the world in search of objects, materials, and ideas to break our dependency on plastic. These discoveries are presented in a travelling exhibition on board the expedition vessel.
To put an end to the plastic waste crisis, we urgently need to reduce our plastic consumption. But how do you go about it? And what can we use to replace this material that has taken root in our daily lives, our habits and our cupboards? Plastic Odyssey set off around the world in search of alternatives. At each stopover, the expedition team shares its discoveries with local residents, and enriches the exhibition with new solutions unearthed on the spot. In addition to this traveling exhibition, the team has developed online awareness-raising tools to help spread these good ideas as widely as possible.
On board the Plastic Odyssey are the Treasure Trunks, in which the expedition team gathers solutions as it travels around the world. The Treasure Trunks contain objects, ideas and testimonials from all over the world to help prevent plastic from ending up in the ocean.
Discover our video testimonials on these inspiring initiatives.

On board the Plastic Odyssey, Treasure Trunks sail: large crates in which the expedition team gathers solutions as they travel around the world. The Treasure Trunks contain objects, ideas, and testimonies from all over the world to prevent plastic from ending up in the ocean. At each stage of the expedition, the Plastic Odyssey team opens its trunks wide to show these treasures to local residents, and presents the exhibition in a cultural venue in the city.
