Single use plastics are a serious environmental problem.
Between 2000-2010 we created more single use plastics that the entire 20th century
The cost is too high for many types of plastics to be recycled. They end up being incinerated with other trash, in landfills, or worst of all in the ocean
Not enough is being done to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink.

Their future depends on it!
nOcean plans to change this.
The average American uses 1.6 straws per day for an average of 584 straws a year!
Straws lightweight nature makes them almost impossible to recycle
A small gust of wind can send them airborne to the Ocean
In the ocean, plastics are physically harmful and toxic to wildlife
Toxins accumulate and compound as they move to larger predators, and eventually are passed on to us

Over 250 million tons of plastic enters the Ocean every year
nOcean's plan to help fight single use plastics is multifaceted.

The straw is extra long so it can be adapted to fit all wrist sizes. If you have extra small wrists plan to cover most of the metal to give the straw proper length.
1. Simply figure out how long it needs to be in order to have a proper fit around your wrist and cut it to the that length. If you have extra small wrists plan to cover most of the metal to give the straw the right length for most cups.
2. Insert the cleaning spigot inside the straw.
3. Next you can either place nOcean around your wrist and push the ends together.

The nOcean straw can be worn on its own and washed with your hands before eating, or can be housed in protective outer case to keep things sanitary.
A cleaning spigot is housed inside the silicone band which makes cleaning the inside a breeze. It's convenient! At last you can wear your love for the oceans on your sleeve and show the world your commitment to reducing demand for disposable products!

While not creating more waste is important, there's still the issue of dealing with the garbage already in the ocean, and ensuring ocean friendly policies are implemented. Kickstarter will get nOcean off the ground and running. As the company grows, nOcean will use 50% of it's annual net profits to take plastic out of the Ocean. We plan on working with manufactures to produce products ethically and recycle the used materials.
