On October 21, 2024, a group of enthusiastic university students from the OCES Department embarked on a unique educational journey aboard the Plastic Odyssey vessel, docked at the port near Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui. This visit is part of the events for the French Science Festival 2024, which aims to raise awareness about global plastic pollution and inspire innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
During the visit, students had the opportunity to explore the groundbreaking technologies and strategies employed to tackle the environmental issue of plastic waste. The vessel serves as both a research laboratory and a mobile exhibition, showcasing practical methods to reduce plastic consumption and recycle existing waste. Students also engaged with the crew and experts who shared insights into the vessel's ongoing projects and global expeditions.
