Plastiki is a catamaran made by a group of sea voyagers and scientists from reclaimed plastic bottles and polyester resins. The catamaran is set to sail from San Francisco, California down to Sydney, Australia without using any motor. The moving and collapsible sail of the catamaran is made up of recycled polyester; a material we often see and use for most of our workwear uniforms and other apparels.
The Plastiki is expected to be in Sydney this July after more than 3 months of sailing. It has made some stopovers from the Pacific islands including the Christmans Island.
The main objective of the Plastiki expedition is to give awareness to people about the effects of constant use of plastic to the environment particularly the oceans.
