Eco-Friendly Eyewear Collections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Eyebuydirect Introduced its 'Material Matters Collection'

— April 1, 2025 — Social Good
Eyebuydirect has introduced its 'Material Matters Collection,' an eco-conscious eyewear line designed to merge sustainability with contemporary style. Featuring vibrant colors, retro-inspired silhouettes, and modern finishes, this collection reflects a commitment to both fashion and environmental responsibility.

Available on Eyebuydirect’s website, the collection is priced between $32 and $79 and incorporates sustainable materials such as recycled metal, bio-based acetate, and bio-based nylon. These alternative materials, combined with trend-forward designs and responsible packaging, create a balance of aesthetics and purpose. Additionally, all lenses can be customized with "SunRX, Transition lenses, polarization," and other options for enhanced functionality.

As part of its ongoing sustainability efforts, Eyebuydirect donates a portion of proceeds each year through 1% for the Planet®, a global initiative supporting environmental organizations. Through this initiative, the 'Material Matters Collection' not only offers stylish and high-quality eyewear but also contributes to meaningful environmental action.
