Frequently Asked Questions
What are acetate glasses?
Acetate glasses are frames made out of plant-based plastic. Acetate is a sturdy, impact and water-resistant material which retains its colour and brightness for quite some time. Many eco-friendly brands have opted for acetate as not only is it sustainable but durable. It can also be designed in different patterns and colours such as tortoise shell or pink. If you’re looking for a unique pair of acetate glasses, we have plenty of different styles that will cater to your taste.
Are acetate glasses frames better than plastic glasses frames?
Acetate is a plant-based, non-petroleum product allowing it to be stronger, more durable and more flexible than regular plastic. It is also hypoallergenic and lightweight making it better. Acetate is a high-quality material that we use for our frames to guarantee long durability and comfort. In addition, glasses made with acetate are more resistant to pressure placed on them. We also use them in our frames to bring you a variety of different styles while remaining sustainable.
Are acetate frames sustainable?
As mentioned earlier, acetate is eco-friendly as it is plant-based. Unlike plastic which is completely synthetic, it is derived from wood pulp and cotton. The fact that it is plant-based makes it more biodegradable than plastic and hence eco-friendly. In addition, acetate glasses typically last six years which is a great way to reduce waste. You won’t have to constantly replace your glasses frames.
