RECYCLED IS AS GOOD AS NEW – OUR SUSTAINABLE GLASSES

As a further step towards more sustainability, we use recycled materials for our "Recycled" sunglasses and reading glasses.

Recyclates are recycled plastics (e.g. PET, "acrylic glass") or metals (e.g. copper). These materials have already been through a first product life cycle and are reintroduced to the market as raw materials through recycling processes. We use both recycled plastic and recycled metal in the manufacture of our frames. The frames of our "Green Line Recycled" sunglasses and reading glasses are made from 100% recycled materials. Even the lenses of selected sunglasses models are made from recycled plastic.

Recycled materials offer a comparable quality to conventional plastics or metals. They convince with their high strength and surface hardness and are also resistant to weather and UV radiation. There is also a wide variety of designs. Everything as usual – only more sustainable.
 

Advantages of recycled materials in terms of sustainability:

• Use of fossil raw materials is reduced
• Production protects both valuable resources and the environment
• Waste is reduced
• For recycled plastic: use of post-consumer material
