Plastic pollution is reaching a critical point, with an estimated 11 million tonnes entering our oceans every year. Your #TOGETHERBAND is a part of solving this global issue. 

Every #TOGETHERBAND rope is made from 100% Parley Ocean Plastic® – created from upcycled plastic waste intercepted by Parley from remote islands, shorelines, waters and in coastal communities, preventing it from polluting our oceans. Products made from Ocean Plastic® become symbols of change, raise awareness and fund the fight against marine plastic pollution. 

There are hundreds of millions of illegal firearms in the world. As a result, someone is shot every minute, making small arms ‘weapons of mass destruction.’ Humanium Metal is an upcycled stainless steel repurposed from destructed illegal firearms, which are seized by local authorities in Central America. The firearms are melted down and transformed back to raw stainless steel material by IM Sweden Development Partner in Sweden. Your clasp is made from the resulting Humanium Metal moulded into the shape of the signature upcycled ring pulls BOTTLETOP uses in the creation of our products. This gives the steel a new positive life as your #TOGETHERBAND clasp whilst helping to put an end to armed violence and creating new sources of funding for victims and projects aiming to rebuild conflict-torn societies. 

Our sunglasses frames are constructed using 100% recycled polycarbonate – a strong material made from post-consumer waste like old CDs and electrical appliances. Moreover, we use Category 3 Lenses which means they provide good UV protection and a high level of sun glare reduction. #TOGETHER sunnies are also carbon negative, which means they offset more carbon than is emitted through their creation and distribution.

This product can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A (BPA), which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
