The exhibition guides us through six different immersive rooms. Each of them shows the impact of plastic pollution on the oceans and our own lives in different perspectives, while answering common questions like “why can’t we just ban plastic?”, “why can’t we simply switch to plant-based plastic?” or “why can’t we just clean the oceans from plastic?”

The exhibition also showcases innovative solutions that are already been taken into practice by companies but there is still much to do.
