    Eyewear giant Essilor's FGX International is partnering with Eastman to manufacture its eyeglass frames in January using Eastman's Tritan Renew high-performance copolyester
    .
    This copolyester contains 50% recycled material produced using Eastman's molecular recycling technology
    .

     

    Averson plans to replace the eyeglass frames with recycled materials, starting with its iconic Foster Grant series, and gradually expand to other product lines
    .
    Averson specializes in the design and sale of over-the-counter reading glasses, optical frames and sunglasses
    .

     

    The person in charge of the company said that Tritan Renew is crystal clear, durable, and BPA-free.
    Compared with traditional injection-molded eyeglass frame materials, Tritan Renew has sustainable advantages and a good wearing experience
    .
    "Compared to polycarbonate frames, Tritan Renew not only provides a superior look and feel, but also contains 50 percent certified recycled content, providing a sustainable solution
    .
    "
     

    Eastman uses its "material-to-material" molecular recycling technology to manufacture Tritan Renew copolyesters
    .
    This technology recycles waste plastics that would otherwise end up in landfills and processes them into high-performance materials
    .
    These advanced recycling technologies complement traditional recycling technologies and expand the types and quantities of plastics that can be recycled
    .
    The technology extends the life of materials, reduces waste plastic buildup in the environment, and reduces carbon emissions and reliance on petroleum-based feedstocks
    .

     

    Eastman offers a range of sustainable materials with high levels of certified recycled content for the premium and mass eyewear markets
    .
    In addition to Tritan Renew, Acetate Renew, Tenite Renew and Tritan Renew offer sustainable solutions for frames, temples and lenses
    .
