Meet our unique Waterhaul range of glasses frames. Waterhaul uses 100% recycled fish nets found in the UK’s oceans and coastlines to create sustainable and fashionable eyewear.
Waterhaul helps fight against ‘ghost fishing’, a phenomenon that occurs when marine life becomes trapped in abandoned fishing nets - leading to the destruction of vast amounts of marine life and aquatic habitats.
When you purchase one of our Waterhaul glasses frames, you are not only receiving high-quality, sustainable, recycled frames, but you are also purchasing a symbol of change – saving our oceans one pair of glasses at a time.
With over 650,000 marine animals losing their lives to ghost fishing equipment every year, we need a change. Waterhaul helps to remove abandoned fishing nets from the UK's oceans and coastlines and transform them into usable, highly fashionable eyewear. Waterhaul glasses are engineered for durability and ergonomic comfort.
Waterhaul frames are all created from the strongest plastic materials found in our oceans and come with a lifetime warranty - made to last a lifetime, just like the nets that would otherwise be left in the UK's waters.
Every pair of Waterhaul glasses frames includes free high-quality single vision lenses, which are great for distance, reading, or everyday use. If you require multifocal correction, you can easily upgrade to bifocal for near and far distances, or varifocal lenses for smooth, uninterrupted focus at all distances (near, intermediate and far distances).
You can also customise your lenses with a variety of coatings and filters to enhance comfort and durability. Options include blue-light filters to help reduce digital eye strain, anti-glare coatings for better clarity in bright conditions, and UV filters for protection against damaging rays. Simply select your preferred enhancements at checkout to tailor your glasses to your needs.

Waterhaul glasses are made entirely from recycled fishing gear (aka ‘ghost gear’) recovered from UK coastlines and oceans. These materials are transformed into strong, durable eyewear frames.
Yes. Waterhaul frames are a sustainable eyewear choice. By reusing ocean plastic waste, they help reduce marine pollution and protect aquatic life from ghost gear. When you purchase these frames, you are increasing the demand to recover this dangerous material from our oceans and turn waste into something truly worthwhile.
Absolutely. Every Waterhaul frame comes with free high-quality single vision prescription lenses, ideal for reading, distance, or everyday use. You can also upgrade to bifocal or varifocal lenses during the checkout process for the optimal visual experience.
To keep your Waterhaul glasses in top condition, store them in the supplied cork case (or a similar protective case) when not in use. Don’t place the lenses face down on hard or abrasive surfaces, and always rinse the frames thoroughly after exposure to salt water.
For cleaning, use a soft, clean cloth and avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents. This simple care routine will help preserve the recycled frame material.
