Eco Eyewear – The Future of Sustainable Fashion

David Reeves • May 13, 2025

Sustainable choices are becoming second nature in the way we shop. And good news for the glasses-wearers among us—eyewear has joined the movement. Today, stylish frames crafted from eco-friendly materials are more readily available—redefining how we think about glasses by putting ethics front and centre in the style equation, so fashion and sustainability are at its heart.

From recycled metals to plant-based acetates, today’s eyewear options offer a chance to make a conscious choice for the planet, without compromising on quality or design. 


Introducing Eco, the carbon-negative eyewear brand

One brand leading the way in mindful design is Eco Eyewear. With sustainability at its core, this brand combines eco-friendly materials with timeless style.

Whether it’s through recycled metals, bio-based plastics, or their global reforestation efforts, Eco proves that looking good and doing good can go hand in hand.

As a carbon-negative brand, Eco Eyewear removes more CO₂ from the atmosphere than it produces. A big part of this is their ‘One Frame, One Tree’ initiative, which has already planted over 3.8 million trees worldwide.

No sacrifice to style

Eco Eyewear doesn’t just tick the sustainability box – it delivers on style too. With a wide range of designs, there’s something for everyone. Each design is thoughtfully crafted to balance comfort, versatility, and timeless appeal, making them perfect for everyday wear.

Many frames also come with optional sun clips, instantly transforming your glasses into polarised sunglasses. This clever, chic solution adds even more functionality to eyewear that you can feel good about.
