AM Eyewear Sustainability Actions

Uses bio-based frame materials

AM Eyewear says its frames are made with bio-based acetate, which means the plastic comes from plant sources rather than oil. It also says the frames are made in small batches and are designed to last longer, so they are less likely to be thrown away quickly. The brand presents durability as part of its sustainability approach, because longer use can reduce waste over time.

Uses green energy in operations

The brand says it uses green energy in all of its offices and warehouse locations. Green energy usually means electricity from lower-emission sources such as wind or solar. AM Eyewear links this to its wider effort to reduce the footprint of how its products are made and handled.

Runs a buy-back program

AM Eyewear says it buys back pre-loved frames so they can be donated and used again. This is a form of reuse, which can keep products in circulation for longer and delay them becoming waste. The brand says this program is part of its effort to extend the life of its eyewear.

Uses recycled packaging parts

The brand says its frame cases and packaging use recycled materials. It states that the inner core of the cases is 100% recycled and that the bonded vegan leather outer layer is 73% recycled. Good On You also notes that the brand uses some recycled materials, but says there is no clear evidence that it has taken strong action to reduce packaging overall.

Uses certified supply materials

AM Eyewear says its cellulose frames are made in a factory certified by ISCC, which stands for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. This type of certification is used to track and verify more sustainable raw materials. The brand also says its lenses are made by Carl Zeiss with a lower carbon footprint, and that some products use bio-based Italian acetate and bio-based lenses.
