The impact of making things.
At Mocamar, responsibility takes concrete form. Some of it is financial. Some of it is physical. Some of it is about sharing what we learn. Each addresses a different part of the same reality - the impact of making things.
3% for the ocean.
We commit three percent of our revenue to organizations and projects where protection is tangible, not abstract.
Our current focus is Florida and the United States - the ecosystems and species we are directly connected to through geography, materials, and daily work. Not because they matter more, but because responsibility starts where proximity exists.
Every quarter, we publish a report, detailing the exact amount donated, the organizations supported, the purpose of each contribution, and its geographic focus.
Reusable Packaging.
Every piece ships in packaging made from recycled materials. The cotton tote that travels with each order is woven from recycled fibers by a supplier who is a 1% for the Planet member — which means every tote we order triggers an additional one percent donation to environmental causes, separately from our own commitment.
We choose suppliers who already give, where we can. Not as a feature. As a baseline.
Local Components.
Every electrical part in our pieces — wiring, sockets, hardware, bulbs — is sourced and produced in the United States. The only material that crosses an ocean is the filament itself, because no US producer currently makes filament from recycled fishing nets.
We don't hide that compromise. We name it, and we work to close it.
Beach Cleanups.
Some forms of responsibility can’t be outsourced. We organize and participate in regular beach cleanups along the Florida coastline. Being close to the material means being close to where it comes from.
The waste we collect informs our understanding of plastic - what survives, what fails, and what never should have existed in the first place. Some materials return into experimental processes. Most don’t. The point isn’t transformation. It’s presence.
Beach cleanups starting in autumn 2026.
Education
Education, for us, starts with making consequences visible. We believe that understanding materials early changes how people treat them later.
That’s why we’re developing ways to work directly with schools and kindergartens through tangible experiences. Showing how plastic waste behaves, where it ends up and how it can be treated differently. As part of this, we’re exploring hands-on formats:
- Demonstrating how a simple PET bottle can be turned into usable filament.
- Opening our workshop to school groups.
- Inviting classes to take part in beach cleanups and material collection.
The goal isn’t to teach solutions. It’s to build awareness and curiosity about how materials move through the world. These initiatives are in development and will evolve over time, as we learn what creates the most meaningful impact.
