COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Every pair of glasses and sunglasses crafted by Coral Eyewear is made from recycled materials. Their sunglasses are made from rescued ocean waste materials and other recycled plastic. The process begins with rescued fishing nets and pre- and post-consumer waste which would otherwise be sent to landfills or discarded in the environment.
Coral Eyewear co-founders George and Calvin spotted the inefficiency within the eyewear industry and decided to source a reclaimed material for a new kind of eyewear. Coral is the first British brand to launch a collection of eyewear made with ECONYLⓇ polymer.
With broken frames such a large part of the waste issue at the heart of the eyewear industry, ECONYLⓇ forms a strong frame for the Coral designs that you can trust to be just as tough as virgin plastic - without damaging our planet. Using ECONYL regenerated nylon reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with nylon made from oil.
The eyewear industry also uses a huge amount of unnecessary packaging. All Coral Eyewear packaging is created with fully recyclable kraft paper and the case and cloth which accompany every frame are produced using recycled PET.
Coral Eyewear is an example of a business taking responsibility for the eventual disposal of their products, as well as their creation. Due to regenerated nylon’s properties, the frames can be recycled infinitely without losing quality and, as a result, customers can send their frames back to Coral for recycling. To incentivise the take-up of this circular economy solution, the brand will send you a healthy 10% off your next frame.
Coral Eyewear are hoping to find partners who share their sustainability ethos, ideally using ECONYL or similar sustainable materials.
