Meet the Chipolo ONE Ocean Edition, the First Item Finder Made from Ocean Plastic
Oceanic Global has partnered with Chipolo, the award-winning item finder company, as they take the plunge to combat ocean pollution by offering the first sustainable Bluetooth item finder on the market. The new Chipolo ONE Ocean Edition features a sustainably-sourced outer shell, made from plastic waste collected from the ocean that would otherwise be left to accumulate and cause risk to marine habitats and the wildlife that live within.
The new Ocean Edition is designed to take action on the projected tripling of ocean plastic flowing into our oceans, which is expected to reach a rate of 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. Chipolo is pledging $1 of every Ocean Edition purchase to Oceanic Global to support ocean clean-up efforts.
With the help of Oceanworks.co, a global marketplace sourcing recycled materials from the world’s ocean, material recovered from fishing nets, trawls and ropes floating in the sea is collected, and processed into the polypropylene plastic encasing the Chipolo ONE item finder.
Primož Zelenšek, CEO and Co-founder of Chipolo said: “Sustainability has always been a focus of Chipolo. With the success of our replaceable battery scheme, we knew our consumers cared – that’s why we wanted to use this ethos in every aspect of creation of the Chipolo Ocean Edition, from the recycled plastic coating down to the packaging using craft brown paper and a wood-free paper sleeve that’s completely recyclable.”
The Bluetooth tracker is lightweight and water-resistant. The Ocean Edition comes equipped with all the advanced and free features of the Chipolo ONE including:
- Out of Range Alerts – Only leave once with notifications reminding you to take your essentials up to a distance of 60m to 200ft
