WASTE DOESN'T BELONG IN THE ≈ OCEAN ≈ SO WE TURNED IT INTO SANDALS THAT NOW BELONG ON YOUR FEET

OUR OCEAN-POWERED MISSION

We started Nuoceans to do something about the waste we couldn’t ignore. By turning ocean waste flip-flops into recycled, vegan sandals, we challenge how products are made and what they’re made from. Because the future doesn’t need more stuff. It needs better choices.

our impact

8 tonnes. 53,000 flip-flops.

So far, we’ve recovered over 8 tonnes of discarded flip-flops from the ocean.
That’s around 300g of waste in every pair of Nuos.

RECYCLED & RECYCELABLE
Made from recycled cork, recycled Eva and recycled PVC. And, fully recyclable to keep the cycle going.
MADE FROM OCEAN WASTE
300g of ocean waste EVA foam rescued per pair. Due to the nature of the waste, every pair is unique.
VEGAN & CRUELTY FREE
No leather no animal glues, no compromises. 100% cruelty-free, because this should be the standard.
SAFE, ETHICAL & FAIR
Made in Spain under strict EU standards. Safe, ethical and always fair.
MADE TO LAST = LESS WASTED
We keep virgin materials to a minimum. My making products that last longer, we use fewer resources.
EXTRA COMFORT
Due to a cushioned foamlayer on top of the footbed, it offers extra comfort for all day wear.
