Recycled Frames

"Sustainable eyewear" sounds nice. Most of it isn't.

Bio-acetate that doesn't actually biodegrade in nature. Recycled nylon at 30% that gets downcycled on the next loop. Bamboo temples glued to virgin-plastic frames. The industry is full of half-truths.

94%
Supply is short Brands have committed to recycled content targets the world cannot supply. The 6% who lock in capacity now will hit their 2030 numbers. The 94% will explain themselves to their boards.

Per tonne, UK packaging tax The price of using virgin plastic in packaging today. EU CSDDD and UK Modern Slavery Act are following close behind. Brands without a recycled content story are buying themselves a bill.

Frames made from what no one else can recycle.

VerdiFLX B75I is engineered to go head-to-head with virgin plastic on every metric that matters. Here's what's under the hood.

01

70-100% recycled frames

Made from metallised multi-layered plastic (MLP), the chip packets and sachets that almost nothing else can process. Less than 1% of MLP is recycled globally. We recover it at 120°C, not 500°C pyrolysis.

02

Extremely durable, designed for all-day use

Stiffer than virgin PP. More resilient too. Frames that flex when they need to, hold their shape when they don't, and survive the drop you didn't mean to take.

03

Polarised UV400 lenses

TAC lenses, fully polarised, UV400 certified. A real product, not a story dressed as one.

04

10+ recycling cycles

Without property loss. Versus 5-7 for virgin plastic, 2-3 for standard recycled. Replicated 3x in-house. Independent validation in progress.

05

REACH SVHC & RoHS passed

224 out of 224 clear. Independently tested. Audit-ready. The compliance paperwork your procurement team usually has to chase, already done.

06

Runs on conventional machines

Injection-moulded. No retooling for your manufacturing partner. Zero switching costs. Physical traceability through vertical integration, from waste to pellet to product.

See it for yourself.

Frames built for everyday wear, in everyday light. Hover to take a closer look.

Not a compromise. An upgrade.

Are the lenses fully functional?
