From Trash to Treasure

Our bracelets are made from plastics recovered by our dedicated captains and crews who work tirelessly to clean our oceans, rivers, and coastlines. With operations spanning the globe, our teams are committed to making a tangible impact by collecting harmful plastics and debris from some of the most vulnerable marine environments.

Our bracelets are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bali and Guatemala. Each piece is made with local craftsmanship and tradition, creating unique designs that reflect our shared commitment to protecting the planet.

How We Ensure Perfect Bracelets

We want to guarantee that every bracelet is of the highest quality and durability, which is why quality control is essential to our company. Through this process, we can ensure that what we’re putting out into the world is something we can truly stand behind. For us, it’s not just about catching mistakes; it’s about maintaining a level of consistency that our 4ocean family can rely on.

We focus on several key aspects during our quality control checks:

1. Consistent Sizing: Each bracelet is measured to meet our standard dimensions, guaranteeing a comfortable and consistent fit every time.

2. Durable Knots: The strength of our knots is crucial for durability. We thoroughly inspect each one to ensure it can handle the demands of daily wear, providing you with a lasting product.
