All styles in the ECO Shades Recycled collection is made from RPCTG .
rPMMA LENSES - Lenses of Recycled Materials
RPMMA lenses are a key feature in our sustainable eyewear collection. Made from recycled Poly Methyl Methacrylate, they represent our commitment to environmental responsibility and high-quality eyewear.
