All of the glasses&#8217; frames and sun lenses are made with sustainable materials &#8212; the frames themselves are created from recyclable plant-based bio-based plastic. And since the bio-based plastic is made from a plant-based material, each ergonomically fitted frame boasts reduced carbon-dioxide emissions and water use compared with conventional eyewear.<\/p>\n<p>Production is another important factor for the company. The temple pieces for each pair of glasses are hand-assembled, ultimately making the process more energy efficient. The frames are also designed with a high-chemical resistant material that eliminates the need for spray coating pieces, a factor that reduces overall water usage in production.<br \/>\nEven the demo lenses are biodegradable and are made from carbon neutral polylactic acid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAwear is different and exceptional from any other eyewear collection,\u201d Michele Ziss, director of product and marketing at Charmant, said in a statement. \u201cThe materials and production processes have distinctive properties and a unique story because they are environmentally friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aimed at \u201cstyle-conscious and environmentally savvy millennials,\u201d Awear debuts this month with seven optical frames and two styles of sunglasses for men and women.<\/p>\n<p>Yosuke Shimano, the collection\u2019s lead designer, credited the \u201cvivacity of life\u201d in the landscapes that surround him for inspiring the range of translucent yet saturated colors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is with this concept, that Awear can make an equally bold style and eco-savvy statement,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eyewear company Charmant USA has announced the launch of Awear, a line of eco-friendly eyeglasses.
