Nakie Sustainability Actions

Made hammocks from recycled bottles

Three scuba divers decided they'd seen enough. Dean Leibbrandt, Jaryd, and Tegan Leibbrandt founded Nakie after seeing firsthand the devastation to our beautiful oceans. As nature lovers who enjoy camping, they decided to combine their passion for the outdoors with a mission to reduce ocean plastic pollution. They spent 9 months in their spare bedroom testing the world’s first 100% recycled hammock, made from 37 recycled bottles.
