CARBON NEGATIVE EYEWEAR
Unlike being carbon neutral, where CO₂ emissions are compensated at a ratio of one to one, Eco Eyewear is carbon negative. This means that our efforts in reducing carbon emissions by planting trees actually surpass neutrality and that our trees clean out more CO₂ than our eyewear production creates.
With over 3.8 million trees planted through our One Frame, One Tree program, we continue to pioneer sustainable eyewear as a carbon negative brand.
Our 360° sustainable approach
We live by our 360° sustainable approach, meaning that we incorporate green thinking into every aspect of our business. From the materials used in our frames and packaging, to the lenses, cases, and cleaning cloths, we strive to make sustainable choices that align with our commitment to the environment. Because when it comes to sustainability, every detail counts.
RECYCLED PET & PAPER
Sustainability isn't just for frames. Our cases and packaging minimize our footprint too. That's why the fabric of each case and cleaning cloth is made from recycled PET, and all outer packaging and inserts are made from recycled paper.

RECYCLED PAPER
In our production, recycling is a recurring theme. We only use recycled paper for all printed materials, inserts, and outer packaging.

CORNSTARCH BAG
Our biodegradable transport bag is made from 100% cornstarch. It might not look like much, but it's actually the first of its kind in the eyewear industry!

RECYCLED PLASTIC DEMO LENSES
Our demo lenses are made from 99% recycled plastic while ensuring the same quality, strength and clarity as lenses made from virgin plastic. The result is yet another reduction of our carbon footprint and less waste entering the world’s landfills and oceans.

SUSTAINABILITY ON DISPLAY
We’re proud of our frames and want to show them off. And when we do, we display them on trays and stands made of 100% FSC certified bamboo or recycled paper.
