Sail in plastic - The Plastiki Expedition

Inspired by a UNEP report on marine litter, David de Rothschild wanted to create a compelling and pioneering adventure that would inspire people to act more responsibly towards our planet.

Moved to action, David and a handpicked crew of leading scientists, sailors, adventurers, thought leaders and artists plan to set sail approximately 10,000 nautical miles across the Pacific. The boat, called Plastiki, is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind 60-foot (20m) catamaran made out of reclaimed plastic bottles, srPET plastic and recycled waste products.

Their mission: To beat waste by thinking smart and showcasing how refuse can be used as a resource thus inspiring sustainable solutions for a better way of living.

Like David, we like a different point of view.
