The Eco Six Pack Ring (E6PR™)

Hot gear / healthy goods

We can all agree that marine wildlife getting tangled in (or gobbling up) plastic six pack rings is a goddamn nightmare. This compostable alternative degrades in mere days or weeks. If an E6PR™ does somehow make its way into the ocean and a turtle/whale/Kraken mistakes it for lunch, the critter won’t be harmed. Craft breweries have jumped on board, including the aptly named SaltWater Brewery in Florida. @e6prs; e6pr.com

Bottle vases by Foekje Fleur

Hot gear / healthy goods

After Dutch designer Foekje Fleur van Duin learned about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—a soupy vortex of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean that’s mostly plastic—she started collecting plastic bottles that littered a local river. She then made replicas of the trash in porcelain. The result? Functional pieces of art with an important message about plastic waste. The vases are even shipped without any plastic! @foekjefleur; foekjefleur.com

Foldable Oru Kayaks

Hot gear / healthy goods

These origami-inspired kayaks fold up into a carry case so you can take them (and store them) anywhere. Pictured is the Beach LT, which can be assembled in as little as five minutes and weighs just 26 pounds … while being able to carry 300 pounds across the waves! When you’re done your paddle, it folds up to resemble a large-ish suitcase and slips easily into your trunk. Genius. @orukayak; orukayak.com
