The Cascade reading glasses by Piranha Optics are subtle and stylish readers for women made from recycled water bottles and bamboo! The frames are lightweight and elegant with a rose brown pattern and round lenses. Made from Eco-Pact PET1 plastic, they remove up to 2 water bottles from the single-use cycle.
Our Natural Earth sustainable readers have BPA-free frames and temples. The hand-crafted bamboo temples are sourced from farms to prevent deforestation of bamboo groves. These feminine reading glasses are a classic, attractive design with clear lenses and come in a variety of diopters.
When our Natural Earth readers reach the end of their lifecycle, the elements can be separated into separate recycling. We recommend placing the PET1 plastic water bottle frames into bottle recycling. The acrylic lenses can be popped out and placed into plastic recycling. You can write "acrylic" on the lens with marker so they can be sorted appropriately. The metal hinges and screws can be placed into metal recycling. The composite and bamboo materials are biodegradable and can be composted. Industrial composting is the fastest way to break down wheat and tree bark composite, and backyard composting may take up to half a year to break down plant-based materials.
