We have designed a stunning range of flip flops, that we believe you will love. Through the sales of our flip flops, we will stop at least one million plastic bottles from entering our oceans, every year. We are giving people the opportunity to make a statement. You have the ability to make a lasting impact on the world, and also look fantastic whilst you do it. Our dream is to build a global community of people, who can achieve change through fashion.
Each element of our product has been designed with our planets health in mind, and we’ve worked hard to remove the gap between sustainability and accessibility. What use are sustainable products if they’re unaffordable for most people?
Our idea stems from years of working, hands-on, in marine conservation; seeing first hand the damage that humans are doing to our oceans, through their use and improper disposal of plastics. We relentlessly campaign for change. The years of experience combined with the fact that, incredibly, around 25% of plastic pollution found in the ocean is flip flops, gave us a brain wave. Using the worlds most popular shoe, we could help solve one of the worlds biggest environmental problems.
This seemed like a great idea to us but we had to get it right. We didnt want to just make yet another flip flop from recycled ocean plastic. For us, this says; "I feel good, as Im not putting extra plastic into the world". This does not help solve the problem at all.
We should be stopping plastic getting into the sea, and that is exactly what the Plastic Bank® does around the world. Through their Social Plastic® scheme, the Plastic Bank® have been able to monetise plastic in a number of developing countries, meaning that collectors are able to exchange plastic for vouchers that help buy food and medical supplies as well as pay for education.
Sea Sense Flip Flops are proud to have been endorsed as an Official Supporter of The Plastic Bank®.
