Cape Town’s Plastic Alchemy: How a French Schooner Plans to Make Trash Extinct

by Tumi Makgale
December 15, 2025

The French schooner, “Ville de Bordeaux,” sails into Cape Town not as a typical ship but as a vibrant, floating recycling factory. It transforms plastic trash into valuable items like building bricks and new plastic. More than just recycling, the ship becomes a buzzing center of learning, business, and innovation, hosting workshops and a venturecapital lounge. This amazing vessel aims to empower local communities and spark a circular economy, all working towards one big dream: making plastic waste disappear forever. It’s a bold mission to turn ocean pollution into a treasure chest of new possibilities, proving that yesterday’s trash can build tomorrow’s world.
