EXHIBITION “SEA OF PLASTIC” – RAB 2022
With the exhibition “Sea of Plastic”, we want to draw your attention to the problem of plastic debris. Plastic is a remarkable material with exceptional properties but plastic litter needs to be properly managed, sorted and recycled. Despite awareness of how to manage; reduce, recycle, reuse, our seas are full of plastic debris. This exhibition introduces you to the most common marine debris. We’ve added a specification and a story. The exhibition was on display in Rab’s winter cinema from 20 May to 3 June 2022. We ask you to reduce your use of single-use plastics and use others more environmentally friendly solutions.
