Polaroid Eyewear has been confirmed as technical sponsor of the sailing school Centro Velico Caprera for the 2022 season and, concurrently, will support the M.A.R.E. project (Marine Adventure for Research & Education), set up by the centre itself with One Ocean Foundation. The brand will accompany the crew of One, a 45-foot catamaran equipped like a small laboratory, which will sail around the entire Tyrrhenian Sea visiting 24 marine protected areas.
An on-board team of biologists and naturalists will carry out analyses, measuring and monitoring for twelve weeks of sailing to discover our seas.
Polaroid has reinforced its eco-friendly character in its choice of bio-based and recycled materials for eyeglasses and sunglasses.
The bio-based materials are sturdy and derived from natural resources such as bio-polyamides composed of 50% castor oil (ethically sourced) and eco-acetate derived from cellulose cotton fibre (with FSC certification: Forest Stewardship Council).
One valuable addition is Tritan Renew: a plastic material partially recycled with innovative technology that allows the plastic to be indefinitely recyclable.
