RE: VISION announced they have been working on a secret project. They have created a pair of prototype sunglasses made of 100% recycled paper.
With climate change supercharging over recent years and the signs becoming more visible everywhere we look, the brand hopes this project can spark change.
The sunglasses have no negative impact on the environment whatsoever. Made of recycled paper, the entire frame is biodegradable.
The whole process from the design, manufacturing, and final product puts the environment first. Their end goal is to encourage the sunglass industry to shift away from the use of plastic before it's too late to make a change.
The brand is replacing all future models that are not sustainable and replacing them with new renewable materials.
