MEET EYELEAF
plasticless eyewear made from fallen leaves
Introducing EYELEAF Sunglasses: Embrace Nature's Vision with our groundbreaking plastic-free eyewear, innovatively crafted from fallen leaves.
Through advanced technology, we transform cellulose and lignin found in leaves into a revolutionary biopolymer, creating eyeglass frames that are not only CO2-neutral but also fully biodegradable.
EYELEAF redefines eco-conscious fashion, offering you a way to not just see the world, but to see it more sustainably.

RETHINKING LEAVES
In urban landscapes, fallen leaves, often seen as waste, are in fact a precious resource for EYELEAF Sunglasses. We transform these leaves into the core material for our eco-friendly biocomposite sunglasses, leveraging city-wide leaf collection infrastructures. Fast-regenerating and abundant, leaf fibers provide us with a sustainable, paper-like material, turning potential environmental hazards into stylish, sustainable eyewear.
WHAT IS BEHIND?
STEP 1
Collection of urban leaves in autumn and their preparation for yearly processing (washing/drying/grinding)
STEP 2
Preliminary synthesis of bioplastic primer (a general process that includes the use of other types of biomass)
STEP 3
Creation of a premix of bioplastic primer and leaf based “LCNF” for subsequent moulding injection or CNC forming
STEP 4
Post-production processing (manual), including polishing, assembly, logo application and packaging
