WE'RE ALL FOR BEING POSITIVE...

...but not when it comes to the emission of CO₂. That's why we’re proud to announce that our mission of planting trees has led us to become one of the very first carbon negative eyewear brands in the world!

What does this mean, exactly? Unlike being carbon neutral, where CO₂ emissions are compensated at a ratio of one to one, we're 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.

Our 360° sustainable approach
Because when it comes to sustainability, every detail counts.
RECYCLED PET

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.
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.
“I am extremely excited to add this very fundamental element of carbon negativity to our already sustainable Eco brand. We are the only eyewear brand in the world to offer virtually every sustainable eyewear and packaging material and now we are also carbon negative! We have become the brand that gives back more than what it takes. What an incredible feeling for our customers and final consumers, knowing that by purchasing our products they’ll contribute positively to the environment! It is a very proud milestone for all of us at Eco!”

Alessandro Lanaro, MODO Group CEO

Caring is also sustainable
