We are proud to announce the release of our 2023 Carbon Footprint Report. In the segments below you'll get an overview of our report.
*Total (neutral approach – kg CO2 eq)" refers to amount of greenhouse gas emissions, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2 eq), associated with production. This includes direct and indirect emissions throughout the entire product life cycle.
To provide some context, we've gathered the average CO2 emission in some other daily products.
The production of a polyester shirt can produce the equivalent of 5.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide, compared to 2.1 kg from a cotton shirt.
We’ve been around since 2009, making Eco the first sustainable eyewear brand in the world. And we continue to pioneer sustainable eyewear as one of the first carbon negative brands in the world.
By planting a tree for each frame sold, we've managed to become carbon negative. But the trees have also helped people, families and communities to build a life of prosperity and independence.
