recycled acetate
the opportunity
r43 is a recycled acetate material. Everyone loves the touch and feel of acetate eyewear. Already a more sustainable material than polycarbonate, using between 60% to 100% recycled acetate means even less environmental impact in the process. Instead of putting scrap material into landfill, it is reintroduced back into the production loop of our factories, leaving a smaller carbon footprint all around.
composition
This material is made from off cuts from acetate sheets used in fashion accessories and handmade eyewear. Acetate is made of pulp and fibres from cotton seed, conifer and wood from broad-leaved trees.
