Introduction
Collaborating with Xoloplastics, we set out to demonstrate how eyewear can create lasting impact beyond fashion. Through our upcycle initiative, we diverted 5,822 sunglasses from landfill, with the remainder used in workshops - linking sustainability with creative education, youth employment, and community empowerment.
At its core, this project is a commitment to circularity: transforming materials into new cycles of purpose, reducing waste, and generating social and environmental value.

Mission
To create a circular economy of impact, where plastic waste is transformed into art, employment, and opportunity.
Vision
Rooted in circularity, every frame carries purpose.
We align with SDG 4: Quality Education through workshops and partnerships, while also supporting SDG 12: Responsible Consumption, SDG 8: Decent Work, and contributing to SDG 9, 13, and 17 through innovation, climate-conscious upcycle design, and global collaboration.
