Rocco Originals strives to use Reclaimed plastics to better the world
one pair of frames at a time.
Producing eyewear made from reclaimed material halts the
need for new materials to be harvested and created, reducing
carbon emissions and keeping waste out of landfills.
Plastics are a recyclable material but the production of
plastic uses oil, a process that releases carbon dioxide
into the air. By reusing frames is another way to cut down
on the production of new plastics and cut the use of
petroleum products.
Another way Rocco Originals see’s Green is :
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 153
million people around the world need glasses for
nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. 90% of all
people who need glasses live in low- and middle-income
families.
Rocco Originals collect and send used eyeglasses to people
who need them and can’t afford them. These recycled glasses
are fixed, sterilized, and fitted for the new wearer.
Rocco Originals has given to these organizations and
charities and they will happily accept your unwanted
eyeglasses:
