Top Eco-friendly Materials for Designer Optical Glasses

In the past few years, there has been a growing demand for designer optical glasses in the eyewear market. Customers have been demanding premium products and are ready to pay a premium price for them. Sustainable eyewear products have been gaining popularity in the premium eyewear category. Customers nowadays are opting for glasses made with eco-friendly materials. 

At Techno Design Optical Factory, we are fully equipped to manufacture sustainable eyewear based on the clients’ demands. There is no compromise made on the product quality due to using alternative materials. Below, we look at some of the common eco-friendly materials used for manufacturing eyeglass frames. 

Titanium 

Titanium is a sustainable and eco-friendly material. It is biodegradable, completely recyclable, extremely lightweight, and highly durable. It has a great amount of elasticity, which makes the titanium frames super flexible. They can be twisted at odd angles, without fear of them breaking. These glasses are also anti-corrosive, thus, protecting them against rust and daily wear and tear. Titanium eyewear is long-lasting, thus, they help save resources by reducing the need to change your glasses frequently. 

Cellulose Acetate 

When it comes to designer optical glasses, cellulose acetate is often the top choice of customers. This plant-based material is made from the cellulosic fibers of cotton trees. A plasticizer is mixed with the natural material to give it a proper shape and make it smoother and more flexible. Cellulose acetate is one of the earliest man-made synthetic materials. It is durable, flexible, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and made of completely renewable resources. Acetate frames come in a diverse range of colors and hues as it is a great absorber of natural dyes. This allows manufacturers to make some unique visual patterns, making it the best material for making designer frames. 


Bio-Acetate 

A plasticizer needs to be used while manufacturing cellulose acetate sheets. This is typically a petroleum-based chemical, which makes acetate glasses not fully sustainable. When it comes to the manufacturing of bio-acetate material, the plasticizer used in this process is 100% organic and derived from the nature. This makes bio-acetate frames completely biodegradable and sustainable. There is no compromise on the quality; hence, these frames too are durable, flexible, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. For consumers who are willing to go the extra mile to buy sustainable eyewear products, bio-acetate frames present a great option. While buying, customers must make sure these frames come with their biodegradable certifications. This will ensure the authenticity of the products. 

Bamboo 

Glasses made of bamboo material are the latest fashion trend that’s making bold statements! The wooden texture and the naturally golden color make the look quite stylish. Bamboo is undoubtedly among the most eco-friendly and durable materials on this earth. It is produced from completely renewable resources and is 100% biodegradable and recyclable in nature. Bamboo glasses are lightweight, durable, flexible, hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and toxin-free. They are a perfect mix of style with sustainability. Manufacturers must ensure that the bamboo is sourced from sustainable farms practicing ethical farming practices. 

Conclusion 

Designer optical glasses, especially sustainable eyewear products, are gaining popularity in the premium eyewear category. Techno Design Optical Factory specializes in designing, manufacturing, and exporting eyeglasses to over 140 international brands globally.
