At LUC LEROUX, we take sustainability seriously and strive to minimize our environmental impact through responsible production and use of sustainable materials. Here you can read about the materials we use for our sunglasses and why sustainability is a core value for us:

Our “Sustainable” sunglasses are made with environmentally friendly recycled materials.

• Recycled Materials: Our sunglasses are made from recycled materials, reducing waste and saving resources.
  They are 100% recycled from food containers, bottles and capsules.
  Our sustainable sunglasses have recycled frames and/or recycled lenses. The material used for the frame is recycled polyester, known as rPCTG.
  The lenses are made from 100% recycled polymethyl methacrylate, known as rPMMA-L
• Recycled metal frame: All sustainable metal sunglasses are made from recycled metal. Here it is iron pipe, which...is coated. That way it is not necessary to use nickel, andOur sunglasses will pass any nickel test.
• Packaging: The sunglasses are packed in a biodegradable bag to protect the sunglasses from scratches before they are used.
  If you want to save the environment further, you can opt out of getting the accessories that are otherwise included. Then we will produce less of these and you have saved our planet a little. You just write this to us when you place an order in the webshop, and we will make sure that they are not included.

Unfortunately, not all frame shapes, frame or lens colors can be made from recycled materials. There are technical limitations.
But we think it is important that we offer this alternative, and focus on the fact that sustainability is also an important part of the sunglass industry.
