Another popular material for eco sunglasses is castor oil-derived plastics. According to Raconteur, castor plants are “non-GMO and can grow on poor soil in semi-arid areas using little water and very few pesticides.” Castor oil is a popular and especially chic choice for eco eyewear, with Gucci and Stella McCartney both offering lines of castor-based sunglasses.
Eco-conscious sunglasses provide a distinct eyewear choice to consumers looking to live an all-green lifestyle.
