The Plastiki aims to draw attention to the rethinking of everyday human fingerprints on the natural world. The voyage aims to capture the world's imagination by telling the story of the pioneering and sustainable design process that created and built The Plastiki.

This voyage will see The Plastiki sail through a number of fragile and ecologically challenged regions, from the world's largest waste aquatic dump to The Line Islands and Tuvalu.

The team aims to inspire, as well as to motivate tomorrow's environmental thinkers and doers to take positive action for the planet and be smart with waste. Ultimately, they hope to inspire people to rethink waste as a valuable resource.
