Cofounder & Head of Communications

Plastic Odyssey aims to help reduce plastic pollution in the ocean and alleviate poverty at the same time. To achieve that, we are developing low-tech and open-source solutions to either turn plastic waste into a resource or to reduce our society plastic footprint. In 2021, we will start circumnavigating the globe for 3 years to promote plastic recycling and reduction on a boat powered by plastic debris. This world premiere is made possible thanks to an innovative technology called plastic-to-fuel. We will sail along the most polluted coasts of our planet (Africa, South America, and South-East Asia) and initiate small modular recycling plants where needed. > Sponsors: - Main: L'Occitane - Officials: Groupe Clarins, Credit Acricole, Matmut - Socials: Enowe, Bioderma Ship godparents: Brune Poirson and Roland Jourdain Support committee: Marc Van Peteghem, Catherine Chabaud, Denis Horeau, Tristan Lecomte, Eric Banel, Jérome Cohen, Fanny Agostini, Patricia Ricard Media coverage: BFM TV, National Geographic, Le monde, Le Point, TF1, M6, France 2, France 3, Arte, Paris Match, Ouest France, Sciences et Avenir, Le Télégramme, France Info, France Inter, Europe 1, etc. Please reach out to me at alexandre.dechelotte@plasticodyssey.org for any communication matter.
