Brief concept description of the submitted project/idea
Since 2015, our objective has been to create a global consciousness in regard to the issues of ocean plastic contamination and the unsustainable optical and fashion industry. We have pioneered a seastainable change in the eyewear industry proving that marine plastic waste is a great source of raw material. We don’t produce glasses or watches, but a statement of change, which can be worn by anybody willing to stand for our Oceans. Our impact is environmental and social. We collect and recycle marine plastic waste, give it a second life by using it as raw material to make glasses and watches. By giving value to plastic waste and buying it from coastal communities, they benefit from a new source of income. We also raise awareness about environmental contamination and slavery in the fishing industry (with our Time4Time program).
