2026 CANDIDATE4ocean
Signature Bracelet
Uses recycled plastic cord, recycled glass beads and a recycled stainless-steel charm.
- The state connection
- Boca Raton, Florida-based company; bracelet production is in Bali.
- What to know

Scope: 4ocean bracelet family.
Keep in mind: Enthusiasm is often mission-driven rather than product performance. Forum discussion does not independently prove cleanup accounting.
