The inspiration for MaGiC – showcased as an adventure on the MaGiC Tour and our Chinese blogs to inspire MaGiC participants – is in the water! 12,000 plastic bottles were used to show cradle-to-cradle, innovative material solutions representing a new approach towards waste and design.

In May 2009, this was just a prototype. Now, the Plastiki is a real boat that will sail from San Francisco to Sydney to expose and record the floating plastic waste and islands of trash in the Pacific Ocean. Our director was there in San Francisco Bay to check out the scene! To see more pictures, click here.
