Solgaard

Idea

Proprietary fabric and accessories collection made entirely of recycled ocean plastics.

Introduction

Founded in 2016 by Canadian-Norwegian entrepreneur, Adrian Solgaard, Solgaard pledges to pull five pounds of plastic waste from the ocean for every product sold.Solgaard removed all single-use plastics from its shipping processes in 2019 and eliminated single-use plastics from its supply chain entirely in 2020.

Innovation

A design-driven sustainable brand always ready for adventure, Solgaard enhances life on-the-go with premium gear for global citizens. Designed to improve the lives of travelers while making a positive impact on the planet, Solgaard sustainable product portfolio consists of luggage, backpacks, bags, solar tech accessories, and luxury timepieces.

Impact

17 billion pounds a year. That's 30,000lbs per minute. If we keep going at this rate, by 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Our goal is to help cut ocean plastic in half by 2025.
