Ollu reCycle

At Ollu, we believe that sustainability is a core responsibility as a brand. Did you know that globally, it is estimated that over 20 million tonnes of plastic end up in landfills each year? And the eyewear industry is an often overlooked contributor to this problem. On average, people buy new glasses every two years and usually just chuck out their old ones. We're here to change that.

When creating Ollu, we knew the most important thing for us was to create a long-lasting, quality product that stays out of landfills. This is why we created the Ollu reCycle program.

When your frames start collecting dust on the dresser or when you're ready to trade up for a new look, Ollu is here for you. Our frames are made to last, so we pass them forward to those in need with a bit of repair and a lot of love. We partner with a local organization to help us donate unwanted frames to those who need them most.

While bio-acetate isn’t a certified biodegradable material it can still decompose when used in conjunction with certain conditions and compounds, so at the end of their life, or second life, your glasses can biodegrade in under 120 days (if recycled at the correct facility). So you won’t be able to bury your old Ollu glasses in your own backyard just yet!

Help us create a new life and take responsibility for the life cycles of our products. Send us back your old frames, enjoy 30% off your next purchase and do a little good! Get in touch with us at hello@ollu-shop.com if you are ready to recycle your old frames.
