WHO ARE THEY?
Sea2See is a social enterprise dedicated to reducing ocean pollution by transforming marine plastic waste into high-quality, sustainable eyewear. Founded in 2015 by entrepreneur François van den Abeele, the brand was born out of his deep concern for plastic contamination in our oceans. By working closely with fishing communities in Spain, France, Ghana, and Senegal, Sea2See collects discarded fishing nets, ropes, and other plastic waste, repurposing them into stylish glasses frames.
THE IMPACT
Sea2See has successfully prevented tonnes of plastic waste from entering the ocean, directly contributing to the reduction of marine pollution. Their initiative not only protects marine life but also supports local fishing communities by providing an alternative income source. In West Africa, for example, fishermen are incentivised to collect marine waste, which is then recycled into raw materials for eyewear production.
The real impact of Sea2See’s plastic collection efforts is certified by TUV SUD, with the Sea2see Foundation collecting close to half a million pounds of plastic waste for recycling per year. This significant achievement underscores the brand’s dedication to sustainability and environmental conservation.
WHAT MAKES SEA2SEE UNIQUE?
Many eyewear brands focus on style and quality, but Sea2See goes a step further by integrating sustainability into its core mission. Unlike traditional eyewear companies, Sea2See transforms marine plastic waste into durable, eco-friendly glasses frames. Their frames are made from 100% recycled marine plastic, giving discarded waste a second life while promoting environmental consciousness.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
One of the most impactful ways to support Sea2See is by purchasing their sustainable eyewear. By choosing Sea2See glasses, you are directly contributing to the reduction of ocean plastic waste and supporting ethical production practices. Additionally, spreading awareness about ocean pollution and sustainable alternatives can help drive positive change.
SO WHAT ABOUT THEIR GLASSES?
Sea2See offers a wide range of stylish and durable frames, ensuring there is a perfect fit for everyone. Their designs cater to various face shapes and personal styles, making sustainable fashion accessible without compromising on quality. While their frames are not biodegradable, they are built to last, further promoting sustainability through long-term use.
