Sunglasses are a necessary part of any summer wardrobe. Not only do they keep your eyes shielded from the sun, but they can also make you look cool and stylish. However, many people don’t think about their sunglasses’ environmental impact. Traditional sunglasses are made with materials such as plastic and metals that can harm the environment.<\/p>\n

This blog post will discuss sustainable sunglasses and why you should switch to them. We will also list 10 of the best sustainable sunglasses on the market!<\/p>\n

What Are Sustainable Sunglasses Made Of?<\/h2>\n

A pair of sunglasses might seem a simple accessory, but they are made of many different materials. The lenses are typically made of glass or virgin plastic, while the frames are usually metal or plastic<\/a>. All of these materials come from non-renewable resources and can take hundreds of years to decompose.<\/p>\n

Additionally, prescription lenses also contain chemicals, such as arsenic and lead. These harmful chemicals can leach into the environment and cause damage to ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sustainable brands use sustainable and eco-friendly materials to make their sunglasses. For example, some brands use sustainably sourced wood for the frames, while others use recycled materials such as plastic and nylon. By using sustainable materials, these brands are helping to reduce the environmental impact of their products.<\/p>\n

Sustainable sunglasses are better for the environment and can also be just as stylish as conventional sunglasses. In fact, sustainable sunglasses are often made with unique and beautiful designs that set them apart from their mass-produced counterparts.<\/p>\n
