ZEISS Sunlens and Kering Eyewear reach next milestone for sustainable sunglasses.

Written by MIDO | 08/24/2021

The two companies have been collaborating for years in the development and supply of sun lenses. This year an important achievement in improving the carbon footprint of sunglass manufacturing has been reached through the development of more eco-friendly manufactured lenses.

The newly developed sun lenses entail a significant part of bio-based material, complementing Kering Eyewear’s sustainable frames. It has already been certified for its effective improvement throughout the value chain by REDCert, a certification system accredited by the European Commission.

The new material will gradually be introduced into Kering Eyewear FW21 sun collections across all brands in the portfolio.
