Sustainable Sunglasses: Need of the Hour

Whether it’s about stepping out of the home in broad day light or being a part of a leisure cruise trip, everyone wants to flaunt their style. Sunglasses, a style statement as well as a protective solution from the burning heat of sun, make a great choice. Some people who get a headache because of the light outside wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the sun. It’s like a sunscreen for them.

Undoubtedly, sunglasses are the most widely used accessories worldwide. However, it is also an industry that produces a large quantity of waste. Despite modest progress in past few years, the industry still is polluting and wasteful. The situation is completely unsustainable and untenable. Wastes in the form of plastics (which are used to cut frame shapes), demo lenses, contact lenses, and old frame are still polluting the ocean and the soil.

However, some companies are making a slow progress towards sustainability. With wooden frame and recycling options, they are making sustainable sunglasses extremely popular. As people are becoming more aware of the environmental dangers of plastic and other man-made materials, they are growing concerned about wooden sunglasses.

Eco-friendly sunglasses

The main components of any sunglass are: glass and frames. While lens can be of high-quality acrylic or polycarbonate or traditional glass, frames are usually made of plastic. Environment conscious people who prefer going green are choosing wooden frames to stay eco-friendly.
