    Our Story:

    We are a small social enterprise dedicated to creating premium, sustainable products that blend superior quality with environmental responsibility. We donate to initiatives focused on ocean pollution prevention and awareness.

    Our small business advocates for reducing plastic reliance in daily life, promoting alternatives to fast fashion, operating a zero-waste small business, and reducing consumption overall, helping to drive meaningful change in our community.

    Our current commitment is to Seabin Foundation - an incredible Australian organisation dedicated to ocean pollution research, prevention and education.

    All Ozeano sunglasses are inspired by (and named after) the beauty of the natural world. They are designed in Australia on the NSW South Coast and ethically handmade using a 100% biodegradable plant-based bio-acetate in our ISO9001, ISO14001 and SA8000-certified facility. All accessories are either 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton or FSC-certified Portuguese cork, and all our products are PETA-approved vegan. Our shipping is carbon-neutral, and courier packaging is 100% biodegradable. 

    We use our small business platform to encourage our community to consider bio-based alternatives wherever possible. This includes natural fibre clothing such as cotton, instead of clothing made out of synthetics such as polyester or nylon which have become so commonplace. Synthetic clothes shed microplastics into the ocean with every wash and scientists are just starting to realise the huge impacts plastics are having on our health.

Focus

Plastic Neutral (or Positive)

Plastic Neutral (or better) should be a goal for ANY brand, but for these brands it is absolutely a MUST.

They have a strong focus on ensuring their entire business, supply chains and/or products put no additional plastic into our environment; or even better some are Plastic negative which means they extract more plastic from the environment than their brand creates.

Some minimise their use of plastic in products, some offset their small amount of plastic usage by supporting (or directly being involved in) frontline cleanup projects and others tackle the problem by avoiding virgin plastics through the use of recycled or upcycled plastic as their production resource inputs... however they address the problem these brands are all at LEAST plastic neutral.

Focus

Give Back

This focus type is for brands that "Give Back" a percentage of profits to support frontline projects, or commit their own team to lend a hand directly.

These companies are truly committing to their mission, by channelling a portion of their resources directly to fixing the problems that are adversly affecting the natural world; either via funds donated or supplying the people power to getting things done.

It may be that they are a member of "1% for the planet" or directly having team outings to collect plastic from our oceans and waterways... either way these brands truly are putting their best foot forward in the fight to help the world around us.

Focus

Built To Last

When a product is "Built to Last" it extends the amount of time required until product failure occurs, and a replacement is required to be purchased.

Using a product longer not only saves money for the user, but it reduces demand on production resources and pressure put on the environment throughout the entire supply chain.

Respecting the input resources and the natural world whilst often saving money in the long term for the user... We LOVE the sounds of that!

Focus

Ocean Health

The brands that have this "giving focus" are true crusaders for our largest yet most silent ecosystem on planet earth... our oceans.

They are focused on preserving the entire ecosystem that is a true reflection of the health of our planet from ending overfishing, stopping the spread of reef decay caused by human activities and/or the prevention of human waste degrading our oceans.

A brand that has Ocean Health on their agenda represents the vast natural beauty that is essential to life on earth... our beautiful oceans!
