We began Waterhaul with a conviction that the sunglasses we wanted didn’t exist yet – so we set out to create them.
Since 2018, sunglasses have been at the cornerstone of driving Waterhaul’s mission and impact, aiding us in creating a sustainable pathway to recover and recycle the ocean’s most harmful plastic, at scale, directly from the UK coastline.
Our sunglasses are made for life on the coast and adventures beyond it. Discover polarised sunglasses created from 100% recycled fishing nets and lines recovered from the ocean and UK coastline. From timeless everyday frames and laid-back lifestyle sunglasses to lightweight sports styles, wraparound designs and glacier-inspired frames with protective side shields, every pair combines lasting performance with a Traceable Marine Plastic story. Choose Mineral Glass lenses for exceptional optical clarity and scratch resistance, or lightweight, impact resistant Polycarbonate lenses built for more active days. Inspired by the Cornwall coastline for beach days, coastal walks, surfing, sailing, hiking, running, road trips and everyday exploring, our sustainable sunglasses offer reliable UV protection wherever the weather takes you. Every frame contains 100% recycled fishing gear, with 0% virgin plastic, arrives in plastic-free packaging and is supported by our lifetime Recycle & Replace warranty.

FAQ's
Yes! Every pair of Waterhaul frames comes with a circular lifetime warranty; we'll repair or replace your broken frames, free of charge, forever. Then, just like the fishing gear we recover, your broken frames will go back into our closed-loop recycling process to be turned into a new product.
Please note, we will not replace frames that have sustained superficial damage, such as minor scuffs or usual wear and tear, and we cannot replace lost frames.
For broken mineral glass+ lenses on our Horizon sunglasses collection, we charge a small fee to cover replacement lenses, fitting, and postage back you.
Please contact us for more info.
