A special event – Part of Wednesday Yachting Luncheon Speaker Series

​Are you a Member of St Francis Yacht Club? Join us for a thought-provoking session as Simon discusses Plastic Odyssey’s bold quest to transform an old ship into a traveling recycling plant. This pioneering initiative tours coastal regions worldwide, collects plastic waste directly from threatened ecosystems, and turns trash into valuable resources. Learn how Plastic Odyssey collaborates with local communities to train them in cost-effective recycling methods, creating jobs and long-term solutions.
Discover how onboard innovations convert discarded plastic into usable materials and promote sustainable futures.

Through practical demonstrations, research findings, and community engagement strategies, Simon will illustrate how marine conservation and social empowerment can unite to restore our oceans while uplifting vulnerable communities.
