Plastic pollution in the oceans and on shores is a well-known and growing problem. But have you ever wondered why we don’t see more of it scattered along the beaches? This question inspired this episode’s GAME CHANGER, Fionn Ferreira, to dig deeper. 

Ferreira is an Irish inventor, chemistry student and Forbes 30 under 30 listee. He grew up near the Irish coast in a family of boat builders, and his connection to the sea fuelled his passion for purifying water. Join us as Fionn shares his journey, revealing how his curiosity and innovative mindset led him to develop a groundbreaking idea for purifying water and eventually caught the attention of “Iron Man” himself.
