Celebrating One Year of ReMakes™: Sustainable Eyewear with a Purpose

Two people wearing eyeglasses and casual clothing sit on a beach, smiling and posing for the camera.

It’s been an incredible year since we introduced you to ReMakes™, our sustainable eyewear collection. At Zenni, we’ve spent the last year empathizing with the environmental challenges we face today. Plastic waste continues to harm our oceans and marine life. That’s why we introduced ReMakes™, a collection of eyewear made with 100% certified recycled post-consumer plastic.

Two pairs of clear blue eyeglasses with water droplets lie on sandy beach next to green seaweed.

For the past year, our ReMakes™ frames have been created by collecting plastic that’s already served its purpose as a consumer product and repurposing it into stylish, high-quality eyewear. The result is a fantastic collection of frames that not only look good on you but also do good for the environment.

Supporting the Wyland Foundation

Throughout this past year, every pair of ReMakes™ glasses you purchased has supported the Wyland Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving our world’s oceans, waterways, and marine life. Your choice in eyewear continues to contribute directly to a cleaner, healthier planet.
