Very cool, that is actually how buyforlife.com started too - as a simple list :). Source: over 2 years ago

Same experience here. To solve that, I built a crowdsourced website that collects all sorts of high-quality and durable products: https://buyforlife.com. Source: over 2 years ago

That's why I built buyforlife.com to tackle these issues. The goal was to build a sort of "Productpedia", where people can search and filter through the most durable products of the world, constantly updated and maintained by the community. I stopped working on it because I was busy with other work and it never really gained sustainable traction. Source: over 2 years ago

Buyforlife.com and recorank.com use early versions of reviewr.ai. More will emerge in the near future. Source: almost 3 years ago

Real answer: they recycle it into useable products. Source: over 1 year ago

It was this pair made from recycled ocean plastics where the proceeds were going to a company trying to clean up the ocean. This is the one time I've felt spending a good bit of money on sunglasses was worth it. Source: over 1 year ago

They did make and sell sunglasses out of it before but it looks like they're out of stock now. Maybe they'll make a round 2. Source: over 1 year ago

The two organizations that are helping with this are Ocean Conservatory and The Ocean Cleanup. I don't know what the former does with the trash they remove but The Ocean Cleanup has been converting plastic they remove into sunglasses that they sell to raise finds: https://products.theoceancleanup.com/.
