PLASTIC ODYSSEY
Plastic Odyssey is a global project to reduce plastic pollution by creating a worldwide network of local recycling initiatives. Having sailed through 4 continents and 30 countries, its laboratory ship arrived in the Philippines from November 19 to November 28, 2024, to continue its exploration mission in areas most affected by this issue.
Launch of Plastic Odyssey and the "Youth for Dagat" Program
The exhibition features various treasure trunks that contain objects, ideas, and testimonials from all over the world. These showcase the possibilities of living a life with minimal use of plastic, and raise awareness on environmental innovation and ways to reduce plastic pollution.
The Plastic Odyssey initiative in Manila is made possible with the support of Embassy of France to the Philippines and its Blue Nations project, Delfingen Foundation, France-Philippines United Action, the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines, and Alliance Française de Manille.
