WORK HISTORY
Head of Engineering @Plastic Odyssey
Nantes, FR
Plastic Odyssey is a non-profit organization. Our aim is to help reduce plastic pollution and alleviate poverty at the same time by showing that plastic waste is a resource too valuable to enter our oceans. To achieve that, we will circumnavigate the globe for 3 years to promote plastic recycling on a boat solely powered by plastic debris. This world premiere is made possible thanks to an innovative technology called plastic-to-ecofuel. Current partners: French Ministry of the Environment, Fondation de la Mer, Station F, Base Explore, Darwin Ecosystem, Ponts Alliance, Atlanpole Please reach out to me at b••••••••@plasticodyssey.org if you are interested in a partnership. We would love to have you aboard!

ABOUT BOB VRIGNAUD
Plastic Odyssey aims to help reduce plastic pollution in the ocean and alleviate poverty at the same time. To achieve that, we are developing low-tech and open-source solutions to either turn plastic waste into a resource or to reduce our society plastic footprint. In 2020, we will start circumnavigating the globe for 3 years to promote plastic recycling and reduction on a boat powered by plastic debris. This world premiere is made possible thanks to an innovative technology called plastic-to-fuel. We will sail along the most polluted coasts of our planet (Africa, South America, and South-East Asia) and initiate small modular recycling plants where needed.> Sponsors: L\'Occitane, Groupe Clarins > Charitable organizations : Crédit Agricole, Clarins, Fondation Veolia, Veolia Eau, Fondation Bénéteau, Gecina, Pro Capital, Octopus Invest, Fondation Lemarchand, Fondation Nature & Decouvertes > Institutional partners: Région Sud, Explore, French Ministry of the Environment, 1% for the Planet, Green Tech Verte > Technical partners: SARPI Veolia, SETEC Energie Environnement, INSA Valor, Bee Engineering, VPLP, Institut d\'Optique, Pellenc ST, Greentropism, CNRS, INSA Lyon, Precious Plastic, Cefrepade > Official suppliers and service providers: Europcar, Torqeedo, ENSVN Ship godparents: Brune Poirson and Roland Jourdain Support committee: Marc Van Peteghem, Catherine Chabaud, Denis Horeau, Tristan Lecomte, Eric Banel, Jérome Cohen, Fanny Agostini, Patricia Ricard Media coverage: BFM TV, National Geographic, Le monde, Le Point, TF1, M6, France 2, France 3, Arte, Paris Match, Ouest France, Sciences et Avenir, Le Télégramme, France Info, France Inter, Europe 1, etc. Please reach out to me at b••••••••@plasticodyssey.org if you are interested in a partnership.
