Plastic Odyssey
Plastic Odyssey is an international project whose ambition is to fight against plastic pollution. Thanks to its worldwide network of partners, researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs, teachers, and engineers, Plastic Odyssey is developing concrete solutions to recycle plastic waste and raise awareness of alternatives to plastics.
Plastic Odyssey has two actions: 1) reducing plastic consumption (educational program, awareness campaign, research in social and human sciences) 2) improving waste management in low to middle-income countries by supporting local recyclers (training, network, technologies).
Plastic Odyssey’s Inspiration
A trip to Dakar in 2016 made me realise the amount of plastic going at sea. Our inspiration also came from meeting people with inspiring solutions.
