This project was done in conjuction with MONC and utilisd their
Bio Acetate material. We harnessed the natural malleability of acetate to create a new method of eyewear manufacturing focused on waste reduction.
The current industry standard for eyewear manufacturing is incredibly inefficient. It involves cutting out the thin form of the frames from a large slab of acetate and disposing of the excess without use. This leads to as much as 80% waste material that has to be made, shipped, collected, and disposed of. This is incredibly harmful for the environment, and raises costs for consumers. This project creates a new method of eyewear manufacturing, utilising the natural traits of acetate instead of ignoring them. The material is heated and bent into the shape, creating a final product with less than 5% waste material.
