broyage du neoprene

The OCENEO material

One material, two uses

At OCENEO, used neoprene is ground up. Depending on the granulometry obtained, the material goes either into eyewear or into NEOPOP: two expressions of the same industry.

The process

How matter is born

Used wetsuits are collected, washed, cut, then shredded. The size of the shredded material then determines its use: fine powder for technical parts, more visible granules for raw material.

01

Collection

Used neoprene wetsuits, collected from schools, clubs and individuals.

02

Grinding

Cleaning, cutting, then grinding. Depending on the grain size, the material takes two directions.

03

Two uses, one material

On one side, a fine powder for technical parts. On the other, a coarser granulate for objects and creations.

For the glasses

Fine powder, technical parts

Our finest neoprene powder is mixed with a bio-sourced resin, then injected into aluminum molds. This is the technical approach: a precise material, designed for optical performance and lightweight glasses.

  • Very fine grind of recycled neoprene
  • Blended with a bio-based resin
  • Injected into an aluminium mould for a precise part
  • Hand-finished, checked piece by piece

For NEOPOP

Raw granulate, free expression

The rest of the neoprene, ground more simply, retains visible grains and a strong texture. This is the raw, expressive material, which is transformed into blocks, objects, POS displays, accessories, and bespoke creations.

  • Coarser grind, visible grains
  • Raw material, strong texture, visual identity
  • Blocks, objects, displays, accessories, creations
  • Bespoke collaborations for brands and venues
