About the Company

Ecotribo is a sustainable brand based in the UK that transforms ocean plastic—specifically ghost nets and marine debris recovered from British coastlines—into beautifully designed, functional products. Every year, thousands of tons of plastic threaten our oceans, wildlife, and communities. We’re proving waste can be reimagined as a valuable resource. Working with coastal charities and clean-up crews, we’ve already removed over 5.5 tons of ghost nets and ocean plastic from UK beaches. In our solar-powered Bristol workshop, this waste is cleaned, shredded, and remoulded into products like plant pots, wetsuit hangers, benches, and accessories. Each carries a unique EcotraceAbility™ QR code, allowing customers to trace the plastic’s origins and connect with its recovery story. Ecotribo is more than a product company—it’s a movement. By keeping production local, we cut carbon footprints, create green jobs, and reinvest in protecting coastlines. Every sale supports marine conservation projects, amplifying our impact. Our vision is to scale this model with retailers, brands, and partners who share our mission. Together, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution—proving that sustainability, design, and purpose can go hand in hand.
