A ship fuelled by plastic waste sets sail to help nations recycle
The Plastic Odyssey’s three-year mission is to give people in 30 countries the wherewithal to make a living from recycling their rubbish.
Bernard Simon is the CEO and co-founder of the Plastic Odyssey project.
It entails three years afloat on a half-century-old research ship, and takes in some of the world’s most polluted ports, so it’s not going to be the most glamorous of cruises.
Yet the voyage of the Plastic Odyssey might turn out to be the one that makes all our other water activities more pleasant – and does a power of good for sea creatures.
