OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

THE PROBLEM

There are approximately 640,000 tonnes of abandoned fishing nets in our oceans. The majority of eyewear brands use virgin plastic, further contributing to damaging the planet.

Fishing nets and plastic waste in oceanTHE SOLUTION

We only use recycled or bio-based materials for our frames such as ECONYL, the material made from rescued waste found at sea and in landfills. We use recyclable packaging and our carbon-neutral delivery offsets environmental shipping costs too.
