The environmental impact of UPSEA products

In recent years, as the problem of marine plastic has become more serious, our mission at UPSEA is to fuse "surf culture" with "sustainability" to create a sustainable future. UPSEA products are not just surf gear or apparel, but items that raise awareness of environmental issues and serve as a catalyst for changing behavior. Here we will introduce the specific impact that UPSEA products have on the environment.

1. Reusing marine plastic

UPSEA's products recycle plastic waste that has washed up in the ocean and turn it into new, valuable products. For example, our surf fins are made from recovered ocean plastic. This process:

  • Reducing plastic waste
  • Curbing new plastic production
  • This will help reduce the environmental impact, such as reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

2. Waste reduction through made-to-order production

UPSEA apparel is made to order to minimize the environmental impact.

  • Eliminate wasteful inventory and reduce waste
  • By producing only what we need, we are able to conserve energy and resources, establishing a sustainable manufacturing model.

3. Proposal for an eco-friendly lifestyle

UPSEA is not just providing products, but is also committed to activities to spread awareness of environmental protection. For example,

  • With each purchase, we donate paper clips made from ocean plastic to schools
  • Transmitting information about environmental issues through social media
  • Beach clean-up activities in collaboration with surfers and athletes

Through these efforts, we aim to raise environmental awareness in our community and inspire them to take action.

4. Balancing the environment and the economy

Balancing "environmental protection" and "economic sustainability" is a challenge faced by many companies. At UPSEA, we aim to contribute to a sustainable society and grow as a brand by integrating environmental activities into our business.

We want to create a world where anyone can easily take sustainable action by building a system where simply purchasing products directly contributes to environmental protection.


What we can do now for the future

Buying UPSEA products is not just shopping, it is an action to protect the future of the ocean. The fins and T-shirts you choose are a step towards reducing marine waste and leaving a beautiful ocean for the next generation. Let's spread a sustainable lifestyle together!
