The Plastic Odyssey set sail this month on a 40,000 nautical-mile expedition to educate the public and reduce plastic consumption at over 30 stopovers. At each stopover, the team plans to find ten entrepreneurs who want to set up a recycling factory and train them on machinery provided by the team while also connecting them to local investors, potential customers and partners.
