BRACENET – SAVE THE SEAS. WEAR A NET

Description: Every year, 640.000 tons of fishing nets are lost or dumped at sea. They lose their purpose, but not their function – and keep on fishing as they drift through the oceans. Millions of marine animals get caught in these so-called “ghost nets” and suffer a cruel death. Bracenet recovers the nets and handcrafts them into beautiful accessories in Germany, upcycling a piece of real fishing net for every product.

Why I love this solution: Bracenet allows everyone to participate in saving the seas. 10 % of each sale are donated to marine conversation organisations to recover even more ghost nets. It's a great example for a circular economy and sustainable production.
