The ship fought against plastic pollution and sailed around the world. We see once inside

Chennai is in the sky and the water to be wearing the best of blue in the water. However, a first-and-off ship has been dock at the Chennai port today, inviting curious glasses to the blue-sand white hull. The vessel, a ship, and a boat are somewhat sized that the bulk carrier and controller vessels that are away from the place outside the place are the point of the ever-absorbed port. Not too far away, the matrices of the story make the students in Palikarani’s crisp uniform, wearing a smile and the ship to the ship. It boarded them for the first time, leave one with any purpose.

Grandley Plastic Odyssey Credit, this 40-meter long “floating laboratory” is a three-n-n-age expert collected shortly expensive, durable plastic waste solution around the world. These include ideas, innovation and technology that contribute to plastic recording and decrease. After a recent stop in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia, Plastic Odyssey is at the 31st stopover in Chennai, which is also in its stopping in India.

Former merchant Navy Officer Simon Bernard, who led the sea for this expedition, said, “India is an amazing stopover for both of us in recycling and reducing. It is about seven kg now-CEO and co-founder every year that this expedition is not limited to the board.

“We have come so far in 5 counties. There are many initiatives, solutions, entrepreneurs and chanmakers around the world but they are not connected.

The 40-meter ship itself is an act of industry: analysis laboratory, recycling workshop, display, pyrolysis zone and pyrolysis region and training rooms are divided into 10 spaces, Aing shot, A. Research facility on water. The nine professional sailors, including a 20-membar crew, were the last two-A-A-A-A-A-Laff years in the house of Riser, Engineer, Activities and Entrepreneurs.

A tour, led by Stopover Manager Morgen Kerdonkoff, begins in his heart: recycling workshop. “This region is dedicated to the first step in transforming plastic waste into useful products. The first step is to separate the plastic. Convert the ship into its own recycling factory,” says Morgen. The next step after picking is the next step after picking is the next step Can be mounted.

“With this type of wood, a good alternative to wood, you can create furniture, barrier, decking, bin and tiles for the pavement. Develop micro-rickeling factories,” said Morgen. There are also many prototypes in the workshop that were made on the ship and their ride was discovered: colored soap foods, hammers, building tiles, coconut shell boles, tables and challenges using crew.

The workshop is taken to a small, gaer room where the two members are busy hacking through recycling elements. On their side, a neat rows of mold in the form of spectacular frames. Morgen explained, “In Chennai we are trying to make glasses outside the recycling plastic. We’re working with the Indian Vision Institute [in Palavakkam]To see if such a model is possible to see if people in the disadvantaged community can bring plastic waste and make glasses from it. It is still in the prototyping stage. “A resident of Solid Waste Management is a resident Kalyan Association Roca Chennai and other associates in the city.

Powered by a wonderful statistics that at least 20 tonnes of plastic waste is thrown into the sea per minute, of which 78% of the land source comes from the source of the land, which makes this enable the number of expectations.

“Of all the plastic waste in the sea comes only 1% on the surface,” Simon says. And so, the idea is to close the waste at the source of the land before reaching the sea. “We have about 5 entrepreneurs coming so far and shared their practices and launched factories in their respective counties. The target is to keep these long -running factories. The board has about 5,000 children who have made a living with low dependence on plastic.

Senegal was their big win. In this West African country, 10 recyclable factories are being set up. While in the Philippines, the team has made the factories easier that can recycled 300 tons per year and make each of them at least 20 tasks. “We want to replicate it in every country,” said Simon.

Basic to reduce the dependence of plastic, students are now crossing the recording and snacking them in the prototyping room for a short training on the daily steps. Rocker Relashani P says “deliberate about a product’s life cycle; what happens at the end of his life cycle? Bottles, bags and cutry. Students are pile with prepared answers; a field trip is good don.

The next stop is in April in the Punarmilan Island. Simon assures that the expedition was closed in the following year, the efforts would not be stopped, assured Simon. After this expedition, we would like to create a boat to concentrate on recovery of ecosystem through clean-ups. The Henderson Island Cleanup in collaboration with UNESCO was our first step in this direction.
