We want to give the plastic collected from the ocean a new life and it is our responsibility to design a product that has a negligible chance of ending up back in the ocean. We recognize that the ocean plastic we collect is not simply trash, but a valuable material that should not be used and thrown away. With this product we will not only give our supporters the chance to take part in the cleanup and maximize our impact, but we can help show that this plastic, when used responsibly, is far more than a cheap disposable material.
By making something from discarded plastic that you value, that is durable, and that you want to keep and will love to take care of, we are ensuring that this plastic has the least chance of re-entering the oceans.
We trust that our supporters will do their part by taking ownership of it and help us create new stories where plastic used to be, turning pollution into products and therefore adding value. The sunglasses are also designed to be recyclable, which means they are not becoming waste again.
In the unfortunate event that someone loses their sunglasses, the QR code can help us re-unite the product and its owner. We call this Lost & Found. To ensure that your sunglasses are included in this program, you can create an account and register your sunglasses.
If the product ever reaches the end of its use, it was designed to be recycled. This is how you can do it:
