As more consumers seek sustainable and upcycled products, GlassesUSA.com is helping this demographic reduce their environmental impact with the launch of its SeaClean series. These timeless and sophisticated glasses are made entirely from upcycled RPET bottles, with each pair using 5 RPET plastic bottles.
“Our responsibility as a company is to be aware of our impact on the environment, to act accordingly and to encourage others to do the same. We are committed to improving our ways internally and externally and the launch of SeaClean marks the beginning of our company’s more conscious future," said GlassesUSA.com’s CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Rothman.
Moreover, for each pair of SeaClean glasses sold, GlassesUSA.com will donate $5 to the Ocean Cleanup Foundation to help them reach their goal of creating a plastic-free ocean by 2050.
