Our Mission

Our Story

To help you untrash the planet® of single-use plastic

Untrashing is part of every aspect of our brand, from design, manufacturing, packaging to shipping, ocean cleanups & energy consumption.

Plastic waste to good use

We all know the world’s drowning in plastic. By 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans by weight than there are fish.

We upcycle discarded single-use plastic bottles and turn them into beautifully-designed, sustainably-made sunglasses.

Shop

100% recycled frames

The plastic from one discarded 600ml single-use bottle makes the frame & hinges of one pair exactly. No screws, no metal. 

This magic happens in Sydney!

Shop

28.5 bottles per pair is untrashed

1 bottle to make the glasses, 2.5 bottles to make the case and cloth. 0.5 kilo of plastic or equiv. weight of 25 bottles stopped from reaching the ocean via our plastic collection partner Plastic Bank. (Verified)

Show Me!

The day we go out of business will be a good day for the planet.

We're not crazy, we're just honest. The day we run out of discarded single-use bottles to recycle means we've done our bit to help the planet ;)

Carbon negative

For each pair of sunglasses sold, we prevent 10kg of carbon from reaching the earth's atmosphere.

That covers the manufacture & transport of all the elements involved in the making of our shades plus a bit more.
