Recycle my wetsuit
139,00€Send us your old wetsuit, and we'll transform it into a unique pair of glasses. A creation made from your own material, handcrafted in our workshop.
Pigment: from your wetsuit
Each frame will have unique nuances depending on the material received.
A pair crafted from your story
Every wetsuit has a story. Here, it becomes a unique pair of sunglasses, made piece by piece in the OCENEO workshop.
Estimated lead time: 15 to 30 working days after we receive your wetsuit
This product requires extra time: we first need to receive your wetsuit, prepare it, recycle it, then handcraft your pair. The lead time actually begins once your package is received at the workshop.
The final result depends on your wetsuit. Each pair is therefore unique, with its own shades, pigments and variations in the material.

Frequently asked questions
What are OCENEO sunglasses made of?
Our frames are made from recycled neoprene wetsuits, ground down and transformed into a unique material. Each pair is handcrafted in Arcachon, France.
Do the lenses offer UV protection?
Yes. All our lenses provide UV400 protection (category 3), filtering 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Polarised bionylon lenses by Divel Italia are available to reduce glare.
Are the sunglasses made in France?
Yes. Each pair is hand-assembled and finished in our workshop near Arcachon, from locally collected recycled neoprene.
How long will it take to receive my order?
As our sunglasses are made to order, allow 10 to 15 days of crafting time before shipping. In France, delivery to a Mondial Relay pickup point is free, and home delivery is free from €200.
How do I care for my recycled neoprene sunglasses?
Clean the lenses with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Avoid abrasive products and prolonged exposure to high heat, and store your sunglasses in their case to protect the frame.
Can I return or exchange my sunglasses?
Yes. You have 14 days after delivery to return or exchange your pair. Return shipping costs are at your expense.
Are recycled neoprene sunglasses sturdy?
We prefer to be transparent: recycled neoprene is an ecological material, by nature slightly less rigid than conventional injected plastic. For everyday use (city, beach, driving, travel) they are perfectly reliable. Simply avoid extreme stress: impact sports, strong twisting or prolonged heat. We are also working on a reinforced version with threaded rods to go even further.
What happens to my sunglasses at end of life?
They do not end up in the bin: send them back to us and they re-enter our production process to become material again, then new sunglasses. Just contact us to arrange the return.
Where does the material of my sunglasses come from?
Every frame is born from a wetsuit that has already lived. Since 2022, more than 16,000 neoprene wetsuits have been collected and given a second life through our process: ground down, turned into sheets, then shaped by hand in our Arcachon workshop. By choosing OCENEO, you extend that cycle.
