Reusable Sunglasses

What's better than a sleek and elegant pair of sunglasses?

Recycled sunglasses.

We are proud to share with you that all of our sunglasses are made from recycled and bioplastic materials, including cellulose acetate. What is acetate?

As mentioned, cellulose acetate is a plant-based synthetic fiber. Due to its high transparency and deep shine, it is used to make sustainable and environmentally friendly sunglasses. The base material comes from plants. It is later processed in a facility using acids to create a powder. The powder is melted, then stretched and shaped into sunglass frames.

Acetate is commonly compared to more conventional plastic or metal. Perhaps the reason for this is that it offers the strength of metal but the affordability and flexibility of plastic - without the environmental drawbacks of either.

As you know, we are experiencing a global plastic waste disaster. Today, almost 80 percent of all plastic ends up in the ocean or landfills, and if we continue to use plastic as we do today, scientists estimate that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish! The consequences of this irresponsibility are not fully known.

What we do know is that recycling plastic into other products and choosing biodegradable alternatives like acetate helps keep plastic out of landfills and waterways. From our research, we've discovered that sunglasses are the perfect use for recycled materials.

They only require small pieces to produce, and as a result, we can create trendy sunglasses from small materials. Most of us own more than one pair of sunglasses. They make up a surprisingly large portion of the fashion accessory market, on top of offering vital eye protection from harmful UV rays.

If you want to make a positive change, start by buying recycled sunglasses. In our collection you will find glasses with different designs, shapes and colors. Inspired and motivated, our team is fully dedicated to producing 100% biodegradable and compostable sunglasses.

While the lenses are not compostable, our sunglasses are designed to be zero waste and include a two-year warranty to ensure you don't have to buy a new pair anytime soon. Should your sunglasses fail you, we'll replace them and recycle your old pair for free.

Our goals are pretty simple - we want to protect the planet and have fun in the process. We strive to satisfy all kinds of buyers from all over the world by offering a variety of designs, colors and lens types. In addition to stylish traditional lenses, we provide polarized lenses and lenses with UV protection (UV and UV400) for those with extra sensitive eyes.

You can now look good while doing good - reduce your plastic use with recycled acetate sunglasses from MessyWeekend.

Eco-friendly sunglasses

With plenty of sunny days ahead, it's time to find yourself a good pair of sunglasses - why not opt ​​for an eco-friendly choice?

As you know by now, we are huge fans of cellulose acetate frames. Each pair in our online store has a unique pattern and natural design. There are several reasons why acetate is more than a trend. It is an innovation that is here to stay and without a doubt the best material for making eco-friendly sunglasses.

The material is lightweight and offers unparalleled comfort, but the weight factor isn't the only reason the world has gone crazy for acetate sunglasses. Durability is another major advantage that makes them suitable for both men and women.

When buying a new pair of glasses, durability and strength are two very important aspects. For some people, sunglasses are a lifeline, and if the frames are not strong enough, you won't be able to wear them for long. Luckily, you don't have this problem with our acetate lenses.

Another advantage of acetate sunglasses is their flexibility. Imagine buying a new pair of sunglasses for your summer vacation. On your first day at the beach, you accidentally sit on them and they break. What a bummer, right? Not with acetate frames!

Acetate sunglasses are not immune to breaking, but they are more flexible than other types of sunglasses.

These glasses are truly a smart investment. They offer a luxurious and modern look at a relatively low cost. Most importantly, however, they offer durability and quality. Acetate sunglasses are suitable for a wide range of uses, from driving to hiking in unknown mountain peaks.

In our book, acetate satisfies all aspects of quality eyewear, and it's affordable to boot, making it a solid material for producing sunglass frames and an eco-friendly alternative to materials associated with large carbon footprints.
