The Paddle for Plastic Campaign was launched in 2017 to raise awareness and enable community groups and individuals alike to start recovering plastic from otherwise inaccessible stretches of coastline and waterways by means of our 100% recycled plastic kayaks made by incorporating marine plastics. Since then the campaign went viral after featuring on prime-time BBC’s Blue Planet UK, More4 and several TV news channels, radio and printed media reaching in excess of 20 million people. The campaign has now gone global, supporting and initiating conservation efforts in Spain, Greece, UK, Africa, the Maldives, Germany, America and Canada.

We have received far more interest from groups willing to participate than we have the capacity to support ourselves therefore we are looking for financial support to expand and scale this campaign. We wish to expand this valuable work by offering companies the opportunity to become part of The Paddle for Plastic Campaign by either purchasing or donating the branded kayaks to community groups or by organizing team-building events under the campaign name.

Did you know?

Each Odyssey Innovation Kayak contains 200 square feet of recycled fishing nets – a result of our Net Regeneration Scheme (NRS), which promotes that plastic collated is converted into recycled plastic pellets to be used in objects promoting the circular economy story. Therefore, through the implementation of this project we will also see an increased demand for recycled fishing nets which were previously a problematic material to be recycled.
