What are we all about?
Sea Sense Flip Flops want to reduce plastic use and prevent plastic from entering our oceans. We have designed and produced a range of stunning plastic-free 100% Biodegradable vegan Flip Flops. Each pair of flip flops will prevent at least 500 plastic bottles from entering our oceans..
What’s our vision and mission?
We want to disrupt the flip flop market. We have a great product and great ethos. We want to give people the choice to make a difference through the simple act of choosing our product. By 2030 we want to prevent 10 million plastic bottles entering our oceans each year.
Why this product? Why now?
The 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. The world now produces more than 380 million tons of plastic every year. Despite the awareness of ocean plastic pollution and the numerous initiatives that have been set up to stop it, the spread of Covid-19 has brought about a “plastic renaissance”.
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 world's most popular shoe, we could help solve one of the world's biggest environmental problems.
We didn't want to just make yet another flip flop from recycled ocean plastic. For me, this says; "I feel good, as I'm not putting extra plastic into the world". This does not help solve the problem at all. We made a promise that not only will Sea Sense never use any plastic in our products or packaging, but we wanted to actually prevent plastic from going into our oceans.
We want to enable people, through the simple act of buying a pair of flip flops, to fight back, to say no to plastics, and actually directly improve the ocean plastics situation by helping to fund the prevention of one million plastic bottles reaching our oceans every year.
