Recycled Frames - Helping the world
We have some fantastic new frames from Coral Eyewear. Hear is what they have to say about them.
From Coral Eyewear
"We create stylish, sustainable glasses and sunglasses from recycled plastics and fishing nets rescued from oceans. Almost half of the UK needs glasses, with a current total of 34 million eyewear prescriptions. The problem? An overwhelming majority of designers and eyewear brands create glasses and sunglasses from virgin plastic frames. So we decided to create our frames from abandoned fishing nets left at sea. Not only does this curb the need for new plastic but it actively benefits the world, too. In fact World Animal Protection estimates just one abandoned net entangles 30-40 marine animals per year. With 600,000 tonnes of fishing gear in our oceans, that's a lot of plastic we can rescue and turn into our eco-friendly glasses."
