It’s the big day for Plastic Odyssey<\/h2>\n

After the festival<\/a>, the Plastic Odyssey team was able to receive and thank the partners who support the project. This was also an opportunity to hear from Alexandre and Simon, the co-founders, about their adventures since the beginning of the project, to discover the Exhibition of Solutions, which brings together all the alternatives to plastics found by Ma\u00eft\u00e9, the director of the association, as well as the turnkey recycling factories developed for recycling entrepreneurs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”16258,16262,16274,16302,16308,16272,16264,16260,16246″ img_size=”full” onclick=”” direction_nav=”yes” control_nav=”yes” pause_on_hover=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”pb2″]<\/p>\n

We were delighted to welcome Denis Brogniart as the master of ceremonies on Friday, September 30, to host the ship’s christening and smash the bottle of champagne on the hull, as tradition dictates.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/we1yWcq_cSs”][vc_column_text el_class=”mt2 pb2″]<\/p>\n
