we save tonnes of over run, out of use, faulty and wasted frames in china that were destined for landfill. Szade optimise for the most carbon conservative strategy by collecting these sunglasses close to the source and taking them to their facility where they enter their unique recycling process. the frames are broken down and processed into their raw materials and are then ready to become a pair of szades.

plastic is the problem in the eyewear industry. period. not acetate, not metal frames, not wood... plastic. they don't use bio materials or anything plant based since they don't want harvest the earth's precious natural resources. instead they choose to utilise what's already there, and save it from ending up in landfill for millions of years. recycle your szades and break the cycle.
