"Promote innovative solutions to transform plastic waste into energy"
In 2010, Swiss entrepreneur Marco Simeoni created the Lausanne-based Race for Water Foundation and devotes every bit of his entrepreneurial fibre to the service of the oceans. Passionate about the sea, in 2015 he decided to launch a scientific and environmental expedition, the Race for Water Odyssey, to make the first global assessment of the plastic pollution of our oceans.
The findings are clear “plastic islands” are not out there so collecting plastic waste at sea is not a realistic solution. The findings have shown that there is a “soup” of microplastics that drift at the mercy of the oceanic gyres.
On the 9th of April 2017, Race for Water set sail around the world once more but this time on a five-year Odyssey, to offer solutions for preserving the oceans from plastic pollution, a genuine environnemental disaster on a planetary scale.
Race for Water Odyssey 2017-2021
Urgent action is needed to stop the flow of plastic waste reaching our oceans. The “Race for Water Odyssey 2017-2021” expedition showcases practical solutions for curbing plastic pollution of the oceans and for the acceleration of energy transition. This is demonstrated with Race for Water; the ambassador vessel powered by a combination of solar, hydrogen and wind energies.
