Linkskin- world's first eco-friendly spectacle frames!

Every one of us can contribute to the efforts of saving the planet with the things we do everyday. Companies alike are playing their roles in their daily operations in order to be socially responsible for their products.

Recently it has come to our attention that the first eco-friendly range of spectacle frames by Linkskin has been produced. At first glance, it was a little unbelievable that contemporary frames that are both stylish and light-weight can be fabricated using recycled materials. But they are, from the frames to the spectacle cases! Using only recycled plastics and stainless steels from old spectacles, the frames are not only “green”, they are designed to be comfortable, durable and versatile. And they are available in a variety of different shapes and colors!

Every pair of frame is engineered to function in the absent of screws while the temples of the frame are joined to the frame front by a patented buckle-lock system that also secures the lenses. The temples have an unique spring design that is worth mentioning. Unlike other spring temple frames, the effect of the spring lasts for the lifespan of the frame so there are no worries that the spring will break or the temples need to be readjusted as a result of daily wear and tear. They also ensure that the spectacles sit snuggly on your face with maximum comfort.

Linkskin has won several awards both for it designs as well as for its contribution towards sustainable development. It has also been accredited with the Green Label in Singapore and applications to other eco label certifications in Japan and Germany are in progress.
