Pull a pound for the Everglades
The Everglades are a vast expanse of subtropical wetlands located in our home state of Florida. This biome isn’t replicated anywhere else on Earth, which is why it’s a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, just like the Great Barrier Reef, Grand Canyon, and Serengeti Plains. While its rich cultural and natural history spans centuries, half of the Everglades have been lost to urban development and other threats over the last few decades.
When you purchase our Everglades Braided Bracelet, you’ll pull one pound of trash from the oceans, rivers, and coastlines while helping raise awareness about the threats these historic wetlands currently face.
FEATURES
- Every bracelet purchased funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean, rivers and coastlines
- Cord manufactured in China from 100% certified post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, including less than 5% reclaimed ocean plastic
- Clear bead manufactured in China from 95% certified post-consumer recycled glass bottles, including less than 5% reclaimed ocean glass
- 4ocean charm manufactured in China from 95% recycled stainless steel

CLOSED-LOOP PROGRAM
We’re currently developing a circular end-of-life plan for every 4ocean product. Our aim is to eliminate waste at the end of our product lifecycle by taking back 4ocean products that our customers no longer use so they can be properly recycled or transformed into new products. Once you’re done with your 4ocean product, please reach out to our customer service team to receive a prepaid shipping label.
The 4ocean Closed-Loop Program is only available in the U.S. for now, but we plan to expand in the future.

PRODUCT STORY
Half of the Everglades has already vanished
Aerial view of the Everglades, Florida
Aerial view of Alligator Alley, Florida Everglades
The Everglades has a rich cultural and natural history that spans centuries. It’s listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve, and Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.
This vast expanse of subtropical wetlands is made up of eight different ecosystems and is a valuable source of drinking water for millions of Floridians. Despite its significance, the Everglades has been dredged, diked, and drained to make way for agricultural and urban development, which has severely impacted water quality throughout the state of Florida.
In addition to development, microplastic pollution, nutrient pollution, invasive species, and sea level rise are having a cumulative effect that threatens the future of this historic ecosystem.
From Bali, with love.
Hand assembled by an artisan in Bali, Indonesia.
Purchasing a 4ocean bracelet does more than clean the ocean. It also creates sustainable, living-wage jobs.
As soon as our beads, cords, and charms reach our main facility in Denpasar, Bali, a crew loads up our van and motorbikes to distribute these components to artisans in remote villages scattered across the island.
Women comprise 80 percent of this workforce. In Bali, women tend to assume the role of primary caretakers for their families, which means their job opportunities are limited. Because they’re able to hand assemble our bracelets in their homes and village centers, more women are able to join the workforce while continuing to care for their families.
