Our genuine care for the environment drives us to take action beyond our own business practices. We want our customers to feel good about purchasing our eyewear, knowing their frames are made with respect for the environment. To be a sustainable business in as many aspects as we can, we're proud of our two social purpose initiatives: One Frame, One Tree and A Wave of Change.
Because for us, great eyewear comes with great responsibility.
ONE FRAME, ONE TREE
The impact of trees is staggering! Not only does the program help support biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and sequester carbon dioxide, but it also helps alleviate hunger and poverty.
Plastic has no place in the ocean. You know it, we know it, and marine life knows it. This is why we teamed up with Waste Free Oceans to collect and reuse ocean-based plastic.
We're proud to lead the eyewear industry in these efforts as one of the first carbon negative brands in the world – meaning that we reduce more carbon dioxide emissions than our production emits.
Through our commitment to planting a tree for each frame we sell (with over 3.8 million trees planted so far! ) we've captured a total of 233 000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. It's a big number that can be hard to grasp, so we've created a couple of comparisons to better illustrate the number in question.
233 000 metric tons of carbon dioxide is equal to approximately 104 484 roundtrip flights between New York and London.
233 000 metric tons of carbon dioxide is equal to driving 46.230 laps around the world.
233 000 metric tons of carbon dioxide is equivalent to the emissions from producing 3,3 billion plastic bottles.
BEACH CLEAN-UPS
Eco Eyewear has sponsored and initiated beach clean-ups worldwide. Together,we're making a difference for our oceans, one beach at a time.
