His Serene Highness Prince Albert II visited the Plastic Odyssey, continuing his long-standing commitment to ocean preservation and environmental innovation…
On board, the Sovereign was welcomed by Simon Bernard, founder and president of the Plastic Odyssey initiative, for an in-depth exchange on the project’s global mission.
Over the course of the visit, discussions focused on the expedition’s three-year journey across multiple continents, aimed at tackling plastic pollution at its source. The Plastic Odyssey team has travelled the world identifying and supporting practical, local solutions that transform plastic waste into valuable resources, helping to create sustainable economic opportunities in regions most affected by pollution.
The initiative stands out for its hands-on approach, combining scientific research, technological innovation and community engagement. By documenting and sharing these solutions, the project seeks to build a global network of scalable models that can be replicated worldwide.
For HSH Prince Albert II, whose environmental advocacy is well established, the visit highlighted the importance of concrete action and international collaboration in addressing one of the planet’s most pressing challenges.
