Cleaning up the oceans with planctons

planctons begin their journey towards sustainable Swiss eyewear as granules made from ocean plastic collected in Southeast Asia. The granules, developed in collaboration with the Basel-based company Tide Ocean, illustrate not only planctons’ innovative approach, but also our commitment to using the best possible material that truly respects the environment. By using recycled plastic from the oceans, every eyewear purchase contributes directly to reducing marine pollution.

Plastic waste becomes glasses

planctons attaches great importance to ensuring that no waste is produced during the manufacture of the glasses. This zero-waste approach is a key aspect of our philosophy. Ideally, every piece of material should be utilised, as this also increases the efficiency of our production. We endeavour to produce no waste wherever possible. Every piece of material should be utilised because this not only increases the efficiency of our production, but also ensures that no new waste is generated wherever possible. Even after years of use, planctons glasses can be returned to us. The opticians know this and pass the worn models on to us. This circular approach allows the materials to be recycled and reused, extending the life cycle of the product and preventing further waste.

Safety and comfort for everyone

We make sure that planctons glasses are harmless and also suitable for allergy sufferers. By using TÜV-certified, pollutant-free and super-lightweight materials, our frames are not only environmentally friendly, but also comfortable and safe to wear.
