Going Green at a whole new level.

Kenya-based eco-business that turns used flip flops into one-of-a-kind jewelry and sculptures as well as practical pieces like children's toys, laptop bags and belts.

Julie Church and Tahreni Bwanaali founded UniquEco in 2005 after seeing the devastating effect that flip flops discarded on the East African coastline was having on the marine eco-system. Inspired by local women and children making cushions and toys out of this washed-up trash, they decided to create a company that would help the environment, provide work for the community and design unique objects for art lovers around the world.
