Episode Synopsis

There are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic floating around our oceans which can take up to 1000 years to biodegrade. Until then, they enter the ocean's food chain, end up in the stomachs of marine life, and kill everything from humpback whales, albatross, to turtles. Upcycling these pieces of plastic is one of the ways we can deal with the plastic pollution issue, and closing the loop on plastic. In today's episode of the Ocean Pancake Podcast I am joined by Woodlike Swimwears Mauricio Palma who shares the mission of protecting our ocean, while creating eco friendly swimsuits made out of econyl. Learn about how businesses are working towards a more turquoise life.
