the ocean cleanup says that different product lines will be explored in the future.ĭesignboom (DB): how does the ocean cleanup’s mission align with your own creative thinking, and why was it personally important for you to be involved in the project? with only a limited amount of plastic from the GPGP currently available, availability is finite. the sunglasses are now available on the ocean cleanup’s website for a contribution of EUR/USD 199. designed by yves béhar and crafted by safilo, the frame is made with plastic certified by DNV GL, while the case is made with recycled material from ‘system 001’, also known as ‘wilson’, the first ocean cleanup system deployed in 2018.Īll components, from the metal hinges to the polarized lenses, are designed to be easily taken apart and recycled if necessary. sunglasses were chosen as the first product to be made from the material for their durability and reminiscence of the oceans. when the campaign concluded, the plastic was returned to shore before being recycled at an unprecedented commercial scale. The product has been made with the first plastic catch during the ocean cleanup’s system 001/B campaign in the GPGP. To learn more about the initiative, designboom spoke with yves béhar who discussed social responsibility, the design and development of the sunglasses, and the recovered plastic material’s future potential. through a contribution of EUR/USD 199, all of which will go directly to the non-profit’s operations, supporters have the chance to help fund the ocean cleanup, which was nominated for THE DESIGN PRIZE 2019 in the category of social impact.
OCEAN CLEANUP SUNGLASSES PATCH
designed by béhar and his team at fuseproject, the sunglasses are made from plastic waste that has been recovered from the great pacific garbage patch (GPGP), a collection of marine debris in the north pacific ocean. The ocean cleanup - the dutch non-profit organization developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic - has teamed up with designer yves béhar to release a limited edition line of sunglasses.
