Eyeglass Chains
For clarity in marine conservation: sustainable eyeglass chains, upcycled from old fishing nets.
With our products we collect donations for marine and environmental protection. So far, we have donated €250,000 to organizations such as Healthy Seas, Sea Shepherd, Everwave, the Ocean Voyages Institute and many more. €150,000 of that goes solely to Healthy Seas – actively supporting the recovery of more ghost nets and preventive measures. More to come!
The 250 divers from Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving are traveling worldwide, braving wind and waves, to retrieve more and more ghost nets They have now recovered over 773 tons – roughly equivalent to the weight of 6 blue whales. Our donations fund, among other things, boat rentals, safety training, and diving equipment. Thank you for your help!
After retrieval, the ghost nets are initially sorted and cleaned with water by Nofir. Then, we process them with loving upcycling craftsmanship in Hamburg into many new products, such as Bracenets and dog leashes. So far, we’ve given around 190,000 meters of net a new lease on life – equivalent to the length of a total of 8,000 sperm whales!
Glasses chains made from fishing nets?
In all our world’s oceans, there are ghost nets, lost or intentionally sunk fishing nets. They pose a threat to the seas and marine life, breaking down into dangerous microplastics over centuries. We couldn’t stand by idly any longer and decided to retrieve these nets with Bracenet! Then, we process them through fair and local craftsmanship into new upcycled products like our Bracenets and eyeglass chains.
With our eyeglass chains, you can remove your glasses at any time without the fear of losing them.
We regularly donate to Healthy Seas to finance further recovery missions and preventive measures and support many other projects for the protection of the oceans and marine life. Learn more about our mission & our impact!
