Plastic Odyssey Lab: Meet plastic recycling entrepreneurs
Plastic Odyssey collects and develops plastic recycling technologies and solutions to disseminate them as open source to as many people as possible. They are embarked on a laboratory ship that will set off in 2022 for a world tour along the most polluted coasts of the planet.
