    Clean Up The Ocean with Nixon’s Sustainable Watches Made from #tide Ocean Plastics

    Nixon’s Light-Wave is the first solar-powered watch made from #tide ocean plastics. Powered by the sun, its unique construction keeps harmful plastics out of the world’s oceans. This dovetails with the introduction of digital non-solar powered surf and tide watches, and a full line of bags also made from ocean plastics.

    Nixon’s heritage in surfing and all things ocean has led them to a commitment to minimize our ecological footprint and leave the ocean in a better state than we found it. Nixon is collaborating with #tide to introduce their proprietary recycled ocean plastics in select watch models. Nixon’s goal is to get waste out of the ocean, and more people into it.

    #tide’s unique process allows Nixon to repurpose all kinds of ocean plastics into safe, durable materials for their watches. Ocean plastics are shredded, cleaned, and combined with a proprietary formula to restore the original integrity of the plastic. Nixon then process the material at a Swiss lab to achieve structural integrity for our watch cases. There are 550 beaches available to program as your home beach or your surf travel destination. Click HERE for the complete beach list.

    Being environmentally conscious in material choices is a high priority for Nixon. They have done extensive research to find the right partners to help them make quality watch bands out of alternative materials. This sustainable watch band offering comprises three different materials: pineapple leather, #TIDE recycled plastics, and standard recycled plastics. Pineapple leather is a relatively new material made from cellulose fibers extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA, and resin. This PETA-approved, vegan material can do anything natural leather can do, including making beautiful eco-friendly watch straps.

    The second is their #TIDE recycled plastic nylon. For this watch band material, they exclusively use plastic waste destined to wind up in the ocean. By partnering with local seaside recycling programs, Nixon can get the material needed to make stylish and durable recycled watch bands while keeping our ocean playground cleaner. Finally, Nixon uses standard RPET (recycled plastic) for other nylon watch straps. While the raw, recycled material comes from a broader range of sources, it still reduces their watch bands’ environmental impact. These sustainability efforts don’t stop here, and with your support, Nixon can continue to look for innovative ways to take care of our planet while still making great products.

    Blue leads 2.5 m euro investment round in world’s first premium sunglasses made from 100-percent recycled materials

    Spring is coming. We are all waiting for the time when the weather gets warm. Yes, March is almost here, sun comes out more and more. We love spending time in parks and beaches when it’s warm and sunny. But one thing we never can ignore. We need a great sunglass for the protection of our eyes.

    Blue, a Stockholm-based investment company that serves as a catalyst for sustainability-driven innovation, has invested 1.25m euro in sustainability-driven Chilean eyewear maker Karün, which turns reclaimed materials such as fishing nets into premium, high-quality sunglassesKarün sunglasses have already caught the attention of world top sporting celebrities such as top Chilean surfer Ramón Navarro as well as organizations like the Volvo Ocean Race.

    The Blue investment, which is part of the total 2.5m investment round including investors such as Luna, an investment organization founded by Lucy Ana Walton, is designed to significantly strengthen Karün’s fast-track global brand building and development of a number of new product lines, marketing and organization in new markets around the world.

    “Karün shows how entrepreneurs can embed environmental concerns into their business vision as it trailblazes the integration of green practices into its material sourcing and manufacturing that reflect the humanity of its founders and management team,” said Blue co-founder and CEO, Anders Jacobson.

    He notes that lost or abandoned plastic fishing gear comprises 10 percent of all the plastic waste in the sea, ensnaring marine wildlife and ultimately destined to break down into micro plastic particles that will enter the human food and water chain to threaten the future health and wellbeing of every inhabitant on the planet.

    “Karün sunglasses are symbols of the change we want to see happening in the world by making a positive impact on the environment and local communities,” said Thomas Kimber, founder and CEO.

    Mr. Kimber said his company’s eyewear are beautiful products designed and sourced in Patagonia and made in Italy with the aim to directly contribute to protecting the environment by turning reclaimed noble and natural materials into positive products and by creating a source of income for micro-entrepreneurs in Patagonia.

    “We are enabling small-scale business people to scale their sustainable businesses and create economic opportunities empowering their own communities,” said Thomas Kimber.

    “Instead of a linear and extractive production process – which is used by most companies in the world – Karün is building our entire value chain under a circular and regenerative model designed to help restore natural ecosystems and local economies, he added.”

    Anders Jacobson said Karün sets an exemplary example of circular economy thinking by up-cycling discarded materials backback into highly desirable new high value products.

    Karün’s approach helped the company become the official sunglass supplier to the recently concluded Volvo Ocean Race. Its frames became the top choice for many of the sailors who raced around the world, such as Martin Strömberg, Mark Towill and Charlie Enright.

    Blue today owns companies such as Bluewater, a world leader in drinking water technologies and solutions, and is investing in a growing portfolio of game-changing companies, including ClimeonBaseload CapitalSave by Solar and Visiba Care.

    “Karün are change-makers who are demonstrating it is possible to solve the problems facing theplanet and humanity in sustainable ways,” Mr Jacobson said.

    Karün can be a great gift choice for anyone. I chose a Polarised Grey Blue Sky Mirror from Pacific Collection for my husband Ryan as a Valentine’s Day gift. He immediately fell in love with it when he saw it. And now he wears it everyday. I will say Karün can be also a good Birthday gift, no matter for your love, your friends, or your dad. Especially for someone who cares about the earth, this is definitely a perfect gift choice.

    About Karün

    Based in Puerto Varas, Patagonia, Chile, Karün is a Chilean B corp that makes sunglasses as a tool to inspire people into looking at the world from a different point of view; one in which we are all nature. They create high quality eyewear, made under a very different way; using reclaimed, natural and noble materials while working alongside local communities in Patagonia. www.karunworld.com
