Our Eco acetates make sustainability accessible for necessary products like glasses. The same great quality IOLLAs, just better for the planet. We're just at the beginning of our sustainability journey. We're working towards making one-quarter of our collection Eco by the end of 2023.
Biodegradable Acetate
Our eco acetates are biodegradable, meaning they have the ability to be broken down naturally without causing pollution. Biodegradable acetates are a type of bio-based polymer that can be broken down by natural processes, making them a more sustainable option for our customers.
The following frames are now available in eco acetate:
- Crystal Fade and Butter Tortoise in Douglas
- Caramel Tortoise and Clear Crystal in Kennedy
- Highland Green and Caramel Tortoise in Nicol
Nicol is also available in Highland Green and Caramel Tortoise for prescription and non-prescription sunglasses.
Recycled Acetate
All of our black acetates are made from 70% recycled acetate. This is produced from the off-cuts from our other acetates which are produced during the frame manufacturing process.
