On a mission to better understand the global plastic pollution crisis, students, volunteers, and team members from the STEM Education Organization for Cambodia (STEMEOC) recently embarked on an exclusive tour of the Plastic Odyssey ship, thanks to the incredible opportunity provided by Plastic Odyssey and Think Plastic. The hands-on tour, focused on innovative plastic waste recycling methods, allowed participants to witness firsthand the groundbreaking technologies and solutions being developed to combat plastic pollution worldwide.

The tour was an invaluable experience for our Eco Heroes, deepening their understanding of the critical issues surrounding plastic waste management. Participants learned about the intricate processes of transforming plastic waste into reusable materials and explored cutting-edge innovations designed to tackle the global plastic crisis. These lessons not only enhanced their knowledge but also empowered them to become agents of change in their own communities, inspired to implement local solutions for reducing and recycling plastic waste.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Plastic Odyssey and Think Plastic for this incredible opportunity to engage with experts and experience such a meaningful initiative. Your unwavering commitment to raising awareness about plastic pollution and developing sustainable solutions is truly commendable. This experience has reinforced our resolve to continue working toward a cleaner, healthier planet, and we are excited to apply what we’ve learned in future Eco-Hero activities across Cambodia.
