We exist to help untrash our planet.
At Good Citizens, we create sunglasses you’ll love from 100% recycled, single-use plastic bottles. And for every pair you buy, we take 1kg of harmful plastic waste out of the ocean.
Thoughtfully made in sunny Sydney like no other pair on the planet.
Sat on your sunnies? Every part can be replaced. We post you a new part so you can fix it in seconds. And we'll recycle any broken parts you post back to us. Good for you & the planet ;-)
When you buy a pair of our sunglasses, you are issued a unique citizenship number.
Wave
If you see another citizen wearing our sunnies, wave & ask them what citizen # they are!
To make the glasses out of one bottle, we've reinvented the hinge to remove all screws and metal. Our design means all parts are fixable and recyclable.
The clip is also part of our distinctive look making them easily recognisable.
We’ve been featured on prime time TV news here in Australia and overseas, National Geographic, Forbes, Monocle and even the front page of the Sydney’s Sunday paper, The Sun Herald.
Nik’s mum reckons she heard BBC Radio 2 talking about us in the UK too.
Any attention that helps raise awareness of the single-use plastic issue is good attention.
Love my new sunnies!!! From the fun color to the high quality, I’m excited to support our planet
Just received my good citizens sunglasses I love them - they are so comfortable, beautifully designed and such good quality! The ethos behind the brand is great too!!! Only down side is everyone wants to steal them!!
So cute and light weight and I feel good wearing them in sunny SoCal with my mask
Love the glasses, love the ethos, love the packaging and love that the parts are replaceable. Really slick product that I would encourage everyone to have a look at.
I saw an ad for the sunnies and loved the whole company so thought to get myself a pair. Of course I showed my mum and she loved them too. So now we've got matching sunnies!
Love the shades.. The shape, the colour, the concept. Nailed it 👌
Its not often you love so many aspects of a brand. The ethos, their unwavering goal, their commitment, vision and an awesome pair of sunnies!
Love love love my new shades, I knew I would love them but I’m so impressed with the quality, lenses and fit. Thank you xxx
Bought these tentatively for my husband. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the lenses. Have 'tested' them a few times and will now have to get a pair for myself! Love the idea and philosophy behind them and will be spreading the word.
Love the product and idea behind it. Easy buying experience.
Hot looking specs! and the guys at Good Citizens even supplied different coloured connectors to boot. Thanks
They're super light and comfy to wear, and the fit is good - they stay on your face even in steamy Singapore, no slipping ever! The smoke lenses are definitely high quality, but it's the Aqua colour that I love most. The translucent frames glow just a little and it feels like everything you're looking at is sitting inside a popping colour box. I love these. I'm going to buy another pair and put in prescription lenses.
Glasses arrived in Auckland way faster than expect. Many thx for processing my order so quickly. Super happy with the product, brilliant value for money.
Thanks for the quick and personalised delivery. Can't wait for a sunny day to get out and show them off to my friends ;-)
Excellent shape and Quality, was gonna give to my partner as a gift but decided to keep them oooops!!!
I love what your company stands for and I love the fact that the sunnies themselves are as good as the cause. I’ll be spreading the word. Thank you.
They look great and are a fantastic fit, love them! To know you're helping to untrash the planet with each pair, makes them even better.
Loving my new Sunnies, so happy with them, could have almost gone a little bit bigger to be fair.
I would love to be able to customise them a little bit. Love the cola but would love to have blue clips for the arms Already got one mate onto them so spreading the word
I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks now and have pretty much dropped my other pair in favour of these. They’re lightweight so don’t slip off your face, and doing my bit for the environment. The whole concept is really going to take off!
Excellent sunnies
Love my new specs. Just home from a road trip and they are excellent all round , great Polaroid lenses for driving. Love them. Thanks Nik!!
💙 my sunnies. Fave colour, great lens and lots of compliments. Best bit is making a contribution to untrashing our beautiful 🌍 🐠 of plastic. Becks
Unique, Australian & Consciously made to assist the big blue. Perfect.
Initially backing the Kickstarter then losing my paid within 24 hours of arriving, I loved the product so much that I ordered them again. The quality and attention to detail in the Bronte style is great. I love the shape, the added touches and minor details in the arms and the simplicity of the product. They also just look great on and are nice and light so comfortable too - could not recommend them more!
Delivery was quick, packaging was great, love the little Bondi glasses bag! I picked the Palm Beach Cola fit perfect and super lightweight. The wife and kids gave the thumbs up so must be good! Bring on summer!
Just loving these sunnies (when I can get them off my son's face)! I've read the background and seriously dig this incredible concept. The dedication to getting this product just right is impressive. We purchased the Palm Beach Lemonade and Cola flavours. Very happy. A great gift idea. Well played Team GC. What's next?
I LOVE LOVE these sunnies, they are comfy, cool, & clever.. Will be spreading the word for sure .
Well done to Nik & Harry
Very goog build quality. Very confortable. I can think of no better way to but something to use that is actualy useless. Brilliant idea, excellent execusion. I'm already looking forward to customizing this glasses, when hinges and frame parts become available to buy seperately.
Bought a pair of the sunglasses (Citizen #511). Stylish and robust...love them. The only issue is my wife keep nicking them so ordered her a pair as well. Make great presents! Sales process and service seamless.
Despite the long parcel (50 days to Russia) I'm happy to get my Bronte Cola. Good quality, perfect fit and feeling proud to help our planet.
what a great way to recycle plastic
the sun glasses are amazing quality very comfortable to wear
highly recommend this company
and look forward to my next pair
Light and comfortable with quality polarised lenses - excellent near water. I'm super-hard on sunglasses and when I damaged these I was offered replacement parts quickly - wouldn't get this from major retailers. Highly recommended.
...and I've got through many in my years. Good Citizens have really considered the fit, overall design which is gorgeous and better still embedding sustainability into every element of what they do. Made from 100% recycled, fully recyclable and using their brand to highlight the issues of plastic waste and what it could be better used for.
Love love love! Thank you Good Citizens :)
So pleased with my new sunglasses. We are having a rather good summer here in the UK and they are just the ticket. The fact that they are also ecologically sound makes it all the better. Really stylish, really well designed and untrashing the plant with every pair. Just superb! Well done guys. I also like the citizen number business. Ps - I have the palm beach cola and my eldest son has the palm beach lemonade which also looks really cool on him. Thank you.
I seriously LOVE these sunnies. So well priced, the perfect fit and such a lightweight yet well made feel AND polarized lenses!!! Put all that together with the warm and fuzzy feels of knowing I've bought a product that is helping our environment, homegrown and a family start-up - I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I don't think it will be my last! Thanks Nik, Harry & Archie :)
I ordered these online and they were shipped incredibly quickly over to me in the UK. First thing I noticed was how strong yet lightweight the frames are and how high quality the lenses are. You can wear them with anything, great style and a fantastic conversation starter. Best part about it, you know your sunnies are helping keep our beautiful oceans clean. Cannot recommend these highly enough
Love them, they fit perfect & helping the environment.
