ECO’s ethos is – as the name suggests – all about feeling good about yourself and expressing your style, whilst also being part of positive change for the planet.

They believe that making a difference starts with making better choices, which is why they made it their mission to use recycled and biobased material in their frames. Their sustainability credentials are multi-faceted, however, and not limited to just the materials they use to create their beautiful eyewear; they are packaged sustainably, using recycled PET for the case and recycled paper for the outer packaging, and for every frame purchased ECO also pledges to plant a tree.

ECO believe that all big changes come in the form of many small ones, and hence they work with Trees for the Future to plant a tree for every frame purchased. With our help, they’ve planted over 2.5 million so far – and that number just keeps growing. They also organise regular Beach Clean-ups in NYC, Orange County, Miami and Italy.

Footprint and Manufacturing

The core ECO range is either Biobased, made from 63% plant-based material, or recycled, made from 95% recycled material. More recently they launched their ECO Ocean range made from ocean-based and bound plastic.

“We love the flexibility of this range, from lightweight biobased materials and recycled metal to ocean plastic, these frames offer choice as well as peace of mind to the eco-conscious among us. A lot of their frames come with a polarised clip to convert your specs to shades with just a “snap” too, making them the perfect year-round accessory! And to top it off, for each frame sold, ECO pledge to plant a tree for every frame we purchase – an all-round winner in our eyes!”
