The latest evolution from FIDLOCK combines precision-engineered, one-handed usability with Ocean Material®, an advanced recycled material made from discarded fishing nets and ocean-bound plastic. These buckles are designed for durability, functionality, and traceability—ready for brands pushing the limits of performance and circular product design.
What is Ocean Material®?
At its core, Ocean Material® is more than just recycled plastic. It’s an ethically sourced, mechanically recycled material, made from waste collected from coastal areas, including discarded fishing gear. Here’s how it works:
· Collection & Recovery: Plastic waste is gathered through verified channels and brought to local Collector Centres.
· Sorting & Processing: Materials are sorted, shredded, and cleaned to remove contaminants.
· Mechanical Recycling: Advanced techniques enhance the quality and consistency of the recycled plastic.
· Third-Party Certification: All materials are validated to meet strict ethical and traceability standards.
The result? A high-grade, marine-sourced material that’s suitable for precision components like FIDLOCK buckles—without compromising performance.
