2 FOR 1 - FRIEND AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Our Start-Up journey begins with a simple yet powerful idea: making the world a better place!
As a team of three different individuals who met at Uni and shared this one goal, we got on this journey to make a difference - and transforming discarded flip-flops into unique sandals was only our starting point...
The problem nobody talked about:
We were on a beach vacation in Asia, soaking up the sun and having a good time. But amidst the paradise, a harsh reality hit us soon: Flip-flops! Everywhere we looked, miles of discarded flip-flops, as common as seashells. 3 billion of flip-flops are produced EVERY YEAR and the worst thing? Most of them are made from virgin plastic and thrown away after only a short holiday fling with their owner...
That's when everything turned around for us; As a team of young students, we drew up a blueprint for a change. From rescued footwear to recycled one, we thought - let’s literally take the first step in tackling ocean pollution in a nu way: let’s create something awesome!
And so... Nuoceans was born. The brainchild of our determined minds!
OUR FIRST STEP
We took the first steps towards a fully circular manufactured product and did the unthinkable: We created the world's first sandal made from unrecyclable flip-flop waste, packed with the highest dose of ocean plastic currently on the market!
OUR MISSION?
To create waves of positive change!
And, to make sandals that last a lifetime and leave a trail of good vibes for us and our oceans. With Nuoceans on your feet, you become an advocate for a cleaner environment, combating a problem that has been swept under the sand for far too long.
We're all about creating a movement, making waves that'll make you say, "Now that's how you save the oceans, baby!"
Since 2018, we've been this mission to leaving a legacy that shouts, "We're here to make a real difference!" While some organisations claim to fight ocean plastic waste just to boost their green credentials, we're here to set the record straight - with ocean waste that no one tackles (flip-flops...), and with a fully circular manufactured product packed with the highest dose of ocean plastic currently on the market!
And, we believe that together we can rewrite the story of ocean pollution in a stylish yet sustainable way. So, are you ready to decide your next step?
