GREEN HERO: ROB THOMPSON

Rob Thompson, owner of Odyssey Innovation, wants us to clean up our oceans. From turning marine waste into kayaks and setting up beach cleans to helping fishing communities recycle, this newly appointed COP26 One Step Greener Ambassador is just getting started.

I was looking at the kayaks and bin bags full of plastic waste lined up in the background and put two and two together, I thought ‘Oh wait, this could be something. We can turn this waste back into kayaks, and then use the kayaks to clean all the inaccessible places like coves and estuaries.’ It took us at Odyssey Innovation another three years of product development to see that realised.
