OUR MĀLAMA MISSION

Happy dogs. Less Waste.

For the dogs we love. For the ocean that inspires us.

Every Ohana Paws collar is designed to give waste a second life. 

WHY RECYCLED

The ocean is our backyard.

Hawaiʻi sits in the middle of the Pacific, downstream of the currents that carry the world's plastic. It washes up on our beaches, tangles our monk seals and sea turtles, and never really goes away — it only breaks into smaller pieces. The best plastic to make things from is plastic that already exists.

8 million

metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year — about five grocery bags of plastic for every foot of coastline on Earth.

2 million+ lbs

of marine debris removed from Papahānaumokuākea in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands since 1996 — much of it plastic and fishing gear that entangles wildlife.

From waste to recycled materials for your collar.

A second life.

A new adventure.

FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS TO WEBBING

Three steps. One second life.

01

Plastic and metal waste is recycled into new materials, including yarn, webbing, and durable hardware. Those materials are then crafted into high-quality, island-inspired collars built for everyday adventure.

02

That discarded waste becomes part of our collar. Recycled material, reimagined with the colors and character of Hawaiʻi.

03

From discarded plastic to daily walks with your best friend. A little island style, a new purpose, and plenty of adventures ahead.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Questions people ask us.

FOR THE DOGS WE LOVE

A little aloha. For every walk.

Every collar is a small piece of Hawaiʻi — and a small piece of the ocean’s comeback story.
