Recycled Sunglasses Collections

For Earth Month 2023, RAEN Launched the Recycled Black Collection

— May 16, 2023 — Eco
This past Earth Month, contemporary glasses brand RAEN emphasized the need to "Invest in Our Planet" and launched its first premium recycled sunglasses collection. The capsule is called The Recycled Black Collection. RAEN is working with a new acetate that is made from 100% recycled materials. The brand has termed it 'Recycled Black.' The material relies on leftovers from the brand's acetate producers. The upcycled acetate produces rich black results and as such, RAEN is planning to transition all of its all-black frames to Recycled Black in the future. For now, the Recycled Black Collection is available within the new Spring/Summer 2023 styles, as well as a few of RAEN's best-selling frames.

In addition to its recycled sunglasses collection, RAEN has also announced that it will be introducing a new eco-friendly material for its product in June.
