Recycled Plastic

Our sunglass frames are made from recycled, GRS-certified polycarbonate. And as if that wasn’t enough, the pouch that comes with our sunglasses is made from recycled plastic too.

That could be enough, but it isn’t. Some of our sunglasses come in a cardboard box made from recycled paper, while others are delivered in a small bag made from recycled PET. Both are designed to be reused. 

Goggles

The frame is made from recycled thermoplastic urethane, while the strap is made from recycled polyester and recycled nylon. Both GRS certified.

ReSteel

is our name for recycled stainless steel. Since Spring 2021, we only use recycled stainless steel when producing our metal glasses. A part of our watch collection, the Wednesday watches, are also made from recycled stainless steel.

Using recycled steel is a great way to help make the planet a little greener. When scrap metal is recycled, it is put to good use rather than taking up space in a junkyard. ReSteel is the way forward!

Vegan leather

All of our leather look wristbands are made out of recycled nylon and PU. PU is made by coating a backing fabric such as cotton or nylon with a flexible polymer and then treating it to look more like animal hide. Polyurethane upholstery is the most realistic imitation of genuine leather, with respect to hand, surface feel, and overall appearance. When stitched, gathered, or tufted it actually “breaks” or wrinkles like real leather. Because there are no plasticizers used in PU upholstery there is no cracking or peeling, and it remains soft. PU resins are made of a softer polymer and therefore don’t need additional plasticizers.
