Ozeano Wins For Sustainability! In The Kiama Business Awards

And we couldn’t have done it without you.

A Big Win for a Small Business

We’re thrilled to share that Ozeano has just won Excellence in Sustainable Business at the 2025 Kiama Business Awards!

As a proudly local brand based on the NSW South Coast, this recognition is a huge honour. It’s proof that small, independent businesses can lead the way when it comes to sustainable innovation—without compromising on quality, style, or impact.


How We Got Here

Since relaunching Ozeano, we’ve stayed true to one mission: to make Australian polarised sunglasses that are as good for the planet as they are for your eyes.

That means:

  • Frames handcrafted from biodegradable, plant-based bio-acetate

  • CR39 polarised lenses—for optical clarity and the best glare protection

  • Zero plastic in our accessories, packaging, or shipping materials

  • Carbon-neutral delivery, always

And it doesn’t stop there. For every pair sold, we fund ocean awareness conservation and pollution prevention via Seabin Foundation. We are also members of 1% for the Planet. 


Why This Award Matters

The Kiama Business Award isn’t just a badge of honour—it’s a celebration of doing things differently. From the start, we’ve chosen to build a business based on values, not shortcuts. That means choosing suppliers who treat their workers fairly. Choosing materials that return to the earth—not pollute it. And choosing to give back with every sale.

This award reflects those choices—and the work behind them.


Thank You for Being Part of It

Whether you’ve followed our journey from the start or just discovered us, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. Every like, share, purchase and word-of-mouth recommendation fuels what we do.

You’re helping grow a business that believes in better. One that proves Australian sustainable sunglasses can look incredible, feel amazing, and tread lightly on the planet.

Why Winter Driving Is the True Test of Your Sunglasses

In winter, glare hits different. It reflects off puddles, car bonnets, and rain-slicked roads—and standard tinted lenses can’t block it. If your sunglasses aren’t polarised, you're not just squinti...
