Tackling Oceanic Waste
Abandoned fishing gear and nets are not just widespread; they also present a significant threat to marine ecosystems.
In the concerning phenomenon known as "ghost fishing," these discarded nets ensnare marine creatures, setting off a harmful cycle where trapped organisms attract more victims. Constructed from plastic, these nets resist decomposition, persisting in the ocean and perpetuating the cycle of entrapment and endangerment to marine life indefinitely.
Turning Ghost Gear into Valuable Resources
The characteristics that render ghost gear a menace in our oceans—their size, abundance, and the high-quality polymers utilized—also render fishing nets an attractive recycling prospect. Urgency to extract this plastic from harm's path further underscores their potential as a valuable resource. As anticipated, the durability of fishing nets, capable of enduring 500 years in the ocean, translates into remarkably robust frames for sunglasses.
For Your Impact Movement
We harness the toughest plastic found in our oceans to craft incredibly eco-friendly sunglasses. Our eyewear not only meets the rigorous requirements for outdoor adventures, exposure, and UV protection but also serves as powerful symbols of our commitment to change for the planet. Earth Cycle sunglasses frames are built to withstand a lifetime of use, as they are crafted from nets designed to endure decades in the ocean.
