Say NO to Plastic Flips Flops.
It Is Time To Sea Sense.
Plastic flip flop pollution is real. 3 billion pairs are sold each year. They break easily and end up in our oceans or landfill. They break down into microplastics that harm animals and the environment. Our natural rubber flip flops are biodegradable. There are also other benefits to natural rubber... our flip flops are super soft, they support your joints and they won't give you blisters. We also fight plastic pollution by using profits from every pair sold to clean our oceans and we provide a vital wage to plastic collectors in developing countries.
Some of the thousands of plastic flops our friends at the Gili Eco Trust have collected.
Eco-friendly, plastic-free, natural rubber, biodegradable flip flops.
Sea Sense For Her
Sea Sense For Him
Our Promise to the Planet
Every year, 3 billion pairs of plastic flip flops are sold, many of which end up in our oceans and harm wildlife. For every pair of Sea Sense Flip Flops sold, we collect 5.7kg of ocean-bound plastic from the world's most polluted rivers and coastlines, and we provide a vital wage for collectors in developing countries.
So far, we've collected the weight equivalent of over
3.1 million ocean-bound plastic bottles.

Your FAQs
How are our flip flops made?
Our flip flops are made from natural rubber. This rubber comes from the forests of Vietnam, where it is "tapped" from rubber trees, so no trees are ever chopped down to make our flip flops. The farmers are paid a fair wage and work in good conditions. The rubber is coloured using natural dyes. PETA has also approved the manufacturing process as ethical and Vegan. The rubber is then made into our beautiful flip flops using "cookie-cutter" moulds.
Why should I buy Sea Sense flip flops?
Sea Sense flip flops have all the qualities of the most popular brands, but we have made improvements where we thought they fell short. We make a traditional thong flip flop, but we have made several upgrades. Using natural rubber we have helped to avoid rubbing and blisters, they are also incredibly elastic and durable so you will avoid those annoying toe plug blowouts. They have less impact on your joints due to the nature of the natural rubber, which is supportive, and molds to your foot. We also do more with your money than other popular brands do. Our focus is on supporting organisations and individuals to stop plastic from entering our oceans and to help pay them a vital wage for doing so. We are also the only flip flop in the world that will use profits to collect at least 1 million ocean-bound plastic bottles, each year.
How does natural rubber biodegrade?
Do not fear, just because our flip flops are biodegradable, it doesn't mean they will start falling apart as you are wearing them. When you are finished with your flip flops, you can bury them in the ground and even in landfill they will break down. Importantly, wherever your flip flops end up, they won't release any toxic chemicals like plastics do.
Here comes the science! Natural rubber is biodegradable for two reasons: because of natural oxidisation and chemical reaction to the environment, and because relatively common bacteria and fungi are able to break rubber down for use over their life cycles.
Natural rubber can be enzymatically broken into molecules helpful to microorganisms, creating water and carbon dioxide or methane as a byproduct. Some of these microorganisms get a boost when the chemistry of the environments starts the process through oxidisation. Soils with a lot of microbial activity and complex compositions can accelerate this biodegradation.
