Thousands of discarded flip-flops wash up on the African shoreline. This indestructible rubber creates an environmental disaster for the marine eco-system as it spoils the natural beauty of the beaches, is mistakenly swallowed by marine feeders, and prevents hatching turtles reaching the safety of the sea. Realizing that this flotsam brings a limitless resource to coastal communities in Kenya, UniqEco works with locals to collect and re-cycle discarded waste. The product range is diverse, from unique accessories and jewelry to one-off sculptures of amazing ingenuity, humor and beauty.

Price: $139.90

Defending against the thousands of abandoned flip flops that litter the shores of the Indian Ocean in Kenya, this hand carved flip flop water buffalo stands proud for the environment and fair trade. The piece is 9 inches long by 5 inches tall and needless to say, colors will vary (greatly). No two are even remotely alike. The animal has a detailed information tag explaining the flip flop process and project and has a UniquEco aluminum embossed tag attached to its belly.
