OCENEO: giving neoprene a second lifeFor our part, OCENEO has taken on an unprecedented challenge: recycling neoprene wetsuits destined for disposal and transforming them into stylish sunglasses. Each pair is handcrafted in France from locally recovered wetsuits. The patterns and colors vary depending on the recycled wetsuits, making each pair unique. Our ambition is to reduce the environmental impact of surfing and diving by repurposing this material, which is almost never recycled. Since our inception, we have already recycled three tons of wetsuits, including 2.3 tons in 2024 alone. By working with ESATs (establishments for people with disabilities) and local artisans, we ensure short supply chains and the use of sustainable materials. We remind you that approximately 400 tons of neoprene are discarded each year in France: by using OCENEO, you contribute to reducing this mountain of waste. |  |
A natural synergy between equipment and recycling
The world of diving is not limited to buying equipment: it is also a human and environmental adventure. At Diveavenue, you can equip yourself with reliable and high-performance products to explore the ocean safely. And what then? When your wetsuit starts to wear out or your equipment becomes obsolete, don't throw it away!
That's where OCENEO comes in. Used wetsuits are a valuable resource: by recycling them, we make robust, original, and eco-responsible sunglasses. By choosing Diveavenue for your equipment and OCENEO to give it a second life, you participate in a virtuous circle: you enjoy quality equipment and you act for the environment. This collaboration symbolizes a more sustainable approach to diving and surfing.
