Ocean Plastics – From Problem to Potential
Event Description

Join us for an engaging event as part of the Northern Ireland Science Festival 2025, exploring innovative approaches to tackling ocean plastic waste.

The indoor session will begin with a 20-minute talk introducing Beach Clean 2.0, a groundbreaking method for making beach cleaning circular. Learn from our scientists how collected ocean plastics are transformed into useful objects, turning a problem into a sustainable solution.

You can then take part in the Ocean Plastic Co-Production Oracle, a 40-minute interactive activity where you’ll collaborate to imagine and design creative solutions for a plastic-free future.

Discover the potential of circular design and help envision a cleaner, healthier ocean.

  • Location on Rathlin- TBC
