Sustainability focused start-up Coral Eyewear has become the first UK-based company to create and launch a collection of glasses and sunglasses made with ECONYL regenerated nylon. The Endangered Collection from Coral Eyewear features six unisex designs available in four colours and can be tailored with prescription lenses. Each frame comes accompanied with a recycled plastic case and the frames are shipped in recyclable tubes. ECONYL, produced by Italian manufacturer Aquafil, is high-quality nylon created out of fishing nets from the aquaculture sector and some rescued from oceans along with other post-consumer waste material such as fabric scraps and carpets. 

Coral Eyewear’s Endangered Collection is now available online and in selected independent opticians from October 2020.
