Eco-eyewear is available in New Zealand and some options to explore for your next pair of spectacles could include frames made of wood, aluminium, biodegradable cotton-acetate, and 3D-printed from bioplastics.
Wanganui Eyecare Centre, and Specsavers in association with the Lions Club, have a collection box for usable pre-loved spectacles through the Recycle For Sight programme.
Visique Goldsbury Optometrists is also happy to receive single vision, usable spectacles for its long-standing recycling programme.
