Eco is a radically new approach to eyewear using recycled metal and plastic without sacrificing quality, design and price. Eco plants a tree for each frame sold and makes it easy to donate your used eyewear to people in need around the world.
Eco is the first optical and sunglass collection entirely made of recycled materials. Eco received an Environmental Claims Validation (ECV) from UL Environment (ULE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a world leader in product evaluation. The ULE validation substantiates Eco’s assertion that the eyewear is made of at least 95 percent recycled stainless steel and plastic.
Eco plants a tree for each frame sold together with Trees for the Future in a program called One Frame, One Tree. This program is upheld with the standards of 1% of the Planet, a worldwide network of businesses in 38 countries that give at least 1 % of their annual revenue to environmental causes.
In addition Eco has special packaging. The frames are shipped in a pouch of organic cotton and packaged with 100 percent recycled paper. Inside the package is a return envelope for customers to donate their unwanted glasses to OneSight.
Recently, Fast Company named the Eco collection as “the greenest glasses on the planet”. Fast Company is the world's leading progressive business media brand, with a unique editorial focus on innovation in technology, ethonomics (ethical economics), leadership, and design.
