The leading eyewear brand's newest collection features bio-nylon frames sourced directly from castor plants

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyebuydirect, the leading online retailer for prescription eyewear, is keeping sustainability top of mind with the launch of its Bio-Nylon collection, featuring 31 SKUs of eco-friendly eyewear made from renewable, recyclable and bio-based materials.

An addition to their existing sustainable collections, the Bio-Nylon collection includes 10 new eyeglasses and 5 sunglasses styles, with fresh and unique looks, while simultaneously empowering customers to reduce their carbon footprint. Whether you're in need of a sleek everyday option like the Rowen or the Kauri's chunky black frames, the collection includes a range of styles starting at $32.

All frames in the collection are uniquely crafted from injected plastic material, with 45% bio-based raw material sourced from castor oil. With only 0.5% of the world's plastic being bio-based, Eyebuydirect is spearheading sustainable eyewear with eco-friendly, durable yet flexible fashion accessories.

"Joining our 5 TO SEE and Bohemia Renewal collections – made from recycled water bottles and bio-acetate materials, respectively – the Bio-Nylon collection is another step in Eyebuydirect's commitment to sustainable eyewear," said Branden Maes, Senior Brand Marketing Manager at Eyebuydirect. "The brand-new bio-nylon material is recyclable for full-circle style and durable enough to last years, without harming the environment or surrendering individual expression."

To further their commitment to sustainability, Eyebuydirect is a proud supporter of 1% For The Planet, donating $15,000 this September.
