Eyewear case

​

From the moment they're produced to the moment they're fitted with prescription lenses, frames for glasses are held in shape by plastic demo lenses. All those pairs of lenses add up, which is why eyewear retailer Ace & Tate looked for a way to turn them into a new product. The result? A rigid case for glasses and sunglasses. The company partnered with Reflow to turn demo lenses into a material that could be injection-molded into a sleek, protective case. The shell is made entirely of recycled demo lenses that were stockpiled for two years; a soft inlay consists of 50% certified recycled wool felt, 30% wool, and 20% polyester.
