About us

Ocean Sole is a social enterprise whose mission is to turn the earth’s flip flop pollution into inspiring art to promote marine conservation and create employment in high impact areas. Using rubber / flip flop marine waste as an entry point and a vehicle, Ocean Sole offers real and replicable solutions to this global problem through trade, livelihood, and conservation initiatives in coastal communities. Ocean Sole works with businesses, communities, scientists, conservationists, artists, governments, industries, and other not-for-profit organizations to support actions that reduce, reuse and recycle, marine and waterway debris. It also serves the Ocean Sole company or trading arm by generating waste materials through beach clean-ups and selling goods through an anticipated global network of Ocean Sole outlet stores in high tourist coastal areas. The aim is to create purposeful profit to re-invest into and grow the social enterprise. -- Coinbase: Oceansolemate.cb.id

    I am walking into Pullman Hotel in Upper Hill and the sight that catches my eye is not just the endearing concierge, it's also this massive, towering, flip-flop made, giraffe sculpture that is strategically placed at the reception. A minute or two after marvelling at it (maybe more now that I'm tallying), I took the pictures below. 'I for sure know who made it,' I thought to myself - Ocean Sole So on behalf of all the guests and staff that sojourn this hotel but have no chance to voice their appreciation directly, "Ocean Sole, what you did with that giraffe is golden and timeless and we love it!" Great work you're doing! Great work

    🐾✨ At Ocean Sole, we’ve been following the heartwarming journey of Miss Peaches, the rescue dog adopted by @stoolpresidente (Founder of Barstool Sports). Together, they’re spreading the word about the importance of #AdoptNotShop, shining a light on rescuing animals from tough situations. Inspired by @famousmisspeaches, we knew we had to make a difference for the animals on our land, too! 🐕✨ With the help of KSPCA, we’ve transformed our art cutoffs into comfy dog beds for shelter pups. 🛏️💙 And guess what? Our artists even created a flip-flop version of Miss Peaches herself! 🎨🌍 It’s more than upcycling, it’s about giving back to our planet and its amazing creatures. 🐾 Check out the adorable Miss Peaches sculpture and support the cause by visiting oceansole.org. 🌟 #RescueDogs #AdoptNotShop #FlipFlopArt #KSPCA #MissPeaches #OceanSole #UpcyclingForGood #AnimalHeroes
