Pacific Mission follows the unprecedented challenge undertaken by the Plastic Odyssey crew in the heart of the Pacific Ocean: to extract and recycle over 10 metric tons (22,000 pounds) of plastic waste piled up along the shores of Henderson Island—a remote 15-square-mile atoll holding the unfortunate record for the highest density of plastic debris in the world. This “impossible mission” is a race to protect nature, raise global awareness about the plastic crisis, and empower the local Pitcairn Island communities to transform waste into building materials. 

Director: Pierre De Parscau 
NR, 60 mins., 2025. Closed captions (CC) in English. 

Plastic Odyssey is a global project to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean by creating a worldwide network of local recycling initiatives. The project is supported by various actors who all share the desire to build a world in which plastic waste does not end up in the Ocean. 

Fabien Lamaison is a social and climate entrepreneur and the U.S. Director of Plastic Odyssey Fund.
