At MITA Eyewear, we
tread lightly on the
planet.

We believe in doing good by you, and for the planet, too. That’s why all of our eco-friendly fashion glasses are transformed from recycled water bottle sand other materials that otherwise would have entered our landfills. By upcycling what some would consider waste, we’ve created a pair of high-quality and eco-friendly eyewear that looks as good as they feel to wear.

Shop eco-friendly fashion glasses made from recycled water bottles. At MITA Eyewear, we have a simple mission: to solve the low recycling rates that exist across the globe, and create beautiful, designer-inspired fashion-forward eyewear along the way.

Recycled Plastic Bottles

At MITA, we are passionate about making a positive impact on sustainability through our upcycling process, which repurposes RPET water bottles to create high-quality stylish eyewear, saving them from littering our oceans. Through our “Reshape” philosophy, we’re pioneering the use of sustainable materials in eyewear.

How it works:
Each pair of our glasses COMES from five recycled water bottles.

Flakes

At a recycling facility, plastic bottles are sorted, washed, and chopped into flakes.

Chips

Next, the clean, FDA-approved flakes are blended, melted, and turned into pre-recycle granules.

r-PET

Now, you have rPET–this is the raw material that forms the basis of sustainable frames.

Reshape

We reshape the upcycled plastic material and work our magic to produce eco-friendly, fashionable eyewear.

Recyclable Metalas

We use recyclable Aluminum & Titanium in our frames for the same reasons it is used for everything from planes to iPhones – it’s lightweight, resistant to corrosion, hypo-allergenic, and can be curved, bent, and welded to any shape. But, most importantly for us, Aluminum is the most environmentally friendly metal on earth. This is why it’s called the “green metal”.

About our Recyclable Metals
Why we chose recyclable aluminum & titanium to go into your favorite lightweight frames.

Lightweight

You'll barely feel your frames in your face.They can be comfortably worn for long hours

Skin-Friendly

Our metals are hypoallergenic, ideal for people whose skin aresensitive to certain materials.

Durable

Rust-resistant, and designed to last, we chose recyclable aluminum & titanium for their durability.

Flexible

This material can be curved and bent into any shape, and recycled multiple times without degradation.

Sustainable Lenses

All of MITA’s eyewear - from our sunglasses to our optical styles - are made with sustainable lenses. Our optical styles come with sustainable blue block lens technology that reduce the risks associated with everyday exposure to harmful blue rays emitted from LED screens. Our sunglasses are available in a stylish selection of colors and tinted lenses to fit your unique style and protect your eyes with 100% UVA/UVB protection.

Together, let’s clear the ocean from plastic pollution. We use 5 recycled bottles to create 1 cool pairof sunglasses.

Recycling rates are low.
