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
Dangerously misunderstood
Great white shark, Spencer Gulf, South Australia
Dried shark fins for sale, China
There is perhaps no creature more misunderstood than the great white shark. While they are the largest predatory fish in the ocean, they’re a lot scarier in our imaginations. In reality, great whites are the protectors of the ocean’s biodiversity. They feed on the sick and weak, control prey populations, and help maintain the strength and diversity of other species.
Great white sharks have no natural predators, but their populations are in a rapid decline. Off the coast of Queensland, Australia, for example, researchers have seen a 92% decline over the last 50 years. And it’s all due to human activity.
Bycatch in the commercial fishing industry, illegal poaching and finning, entanglement in ghost nets, and the bioaccumulation of toxins associated with the ingestion of plastic are just a few of the biggest threats they face. If we are going to save great white sharks — and the ocean — we must work together to address these challenges.
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.
