Rest assured no person, nor the planet, is exploited in the making of our glasses. We invented the process and control all manufacturing on the ground.

Perfect fit frame

100% recycled frame
The entire frame, including the hinges, is made from the plastic of 1 x 600ml discarded single-use plastic bottle. This means 70-75% less CO2 is used in our manufacturing & we have zero material waste.

Sustainability - tell me more!

The word 'sustainable' is overused and can be confusing. So to be clear, this is our version of sustainable.

100% recycled frames
Our frames are made from the plastic of one discarded post -consumer PET bottle. Nothing else is added - no metal, no screws - making them recyclable too.

Ethical manufacturing
We make our frames in Sydney so we can control the manufacturing process to ensure no one nor the planet is harmed. And no cheap labour!

End of life
We take back broken parts to be recycled. Please email us and we’ll give you the free Reply Paid address to send them to.

Less CO2
Because we use only 100% recycled plastic in our frames, we use 70-75% less CO2 in our manufacturing than almost all other brands who use virgin materials (brand new plastic/ bioacetate).

Less waste
Our manufacturing process is zero waste. Every piece of our off-cut plastic finds a new home.

Less energy
Because we've reengineered the frame, we use less energy in our production. We make a frame in 100 seconds instead of the typical 100 hours.

Frames made by the sun
Our manufacturing partner has installed some serious solar panels on the factory roof. We only run our frame making machines in the day to take advantage of this renewable power. Good job the sun always shines in Sydney!

Box, case & cloth
All are made from 100% recycled materials in our certified factories in China (via our local agent in Sydney).

Plastic removal
Through Plastic Bank, we prevent plastic waste from reaching the ocean. The process 100% traceable and certified. Each pair sold removes 0.5kg (equiv. to 25 plastic bottles) from rivers and waterways.

Delivery
We use compostable mailing satchels that you can bury in your garden and we use Australia Post's carbon neutral postal service.

2500+ failed attempts. A story like no other

Two kids, heartbroken by the plastic crisis, had a simple idea to help. A story of hope and action. From tough beginnings to highs like Forbes USA, the UN, and a Selfridges window beside Prada making headlines worldwide. Today, the kids still control 50% of the business.
