Sunglasses and Sustainability: Symbiosis of the Circular Economy

Nearly half of America's oysters call the Gulf Coast home. These remarkable creatures are more than just a delicacy; they're vital to the health of our coastal ecosystems. Oyster reefs provide crucial habitats for marine life, filter water, and protect shorelines from erosion. Unfortunately, these vital ecosystems have been in decline due to overharvesting, pollution, and habitat destruction.

A Ripple Effect

The health of oyster populations has a profound impact on countless lives. For generations, families have relied on the oyster industry for their livelihoods. From commercial fishing to tourism, the economic benefits of a thriving oyster population are immeasurable. When oyster reefs flourish, so do the communities that depend on them.

Ostrea & Co Styles believes the consumer and the environment should comfortably coexist. That's why we've made it our mission to create luxury sunglasses from repurposed oyster shell waste and other more eco friendly materials. By transforming discarded shells into stylish eyewear, we're not only reducing waste but also contributing to a circular economy.
