When we think about sustainability, we usually think in big picture terms: recycling, energy efficiency, food waste, and so on. But what about the smaller things we use every day? What about the glasses we wear to protect our eyes from the sun, or just to look good? Here we introduce Szade, a sunglasses brand that combines sustainability and style.
Szade is a brand that breaks boundaries. They have taken on the challenge of creating stylish eyewear that is also sustainable. They have proven to be a model for environmental protection within eyewear manufacturing, but how do they achieve this?
Recycling at its core
Each pair of Szade glasses has a unique story. They are not just made from scratch, but are recycled from glasses that would otherwise end up in landfill. Szade gives each pair a new life, turning them into raw materials that are then used to create new, fierce eyeglass frames. This is not only cool, it is also very sustainable.
Focus on sustainability
Szade is committed to defining sustainability in a broad sense. They operate from a recycled ocean-based factory in Melbourne, and are members of the CitySwitch Energy Efficiency Program. They also focus on reducing their use of paper and cardboard, reusing materials where possible, and recycle 90% of their waste. Since 2020, the company has been using solar cells to power its factories.
Accessibility for everyone
Szade believes that sustainability should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, sustainable products are often more expensive than their unsustainable competitors. Szade is different. They aim to make sustainable alternatives accessible to as many people as possible, thereby helping to change the consumption habits of society as a whole.
We at Hringekjan have similarly adjusted our pricing to align with Szade's policy of accessibility for all.
