Plastic Odyssey (Accelerator)

Company Description: Plastic Odyssey aims to promote and make recycling technologies accessible. To do so, we develop low-tech and open-source technologies to valorize plastic waste. These machines are based on existing technologies that have already proven to be successful as far as sorting, recycling, and pyrolysis are concerned. However, they have to be improved and adapted to be mobile, budget-friendly, easy to produce and to repair. Blueprints will be available online for free so that everyone can have access to them freely. To promote sustainable practices and technologies, Plastic Odyssey will embark on a 3-year expedition, +30 stopovers, 40,000 nautical miles sailed to study local cultures, needs and use of plastics and initiate the building of small local recycling units and waste reduction initiatives. We have financial partnerships with L’Occitane en Provence, Clarins, Matmut, and Groupe Crédit Agricole.
