Bioacetate production reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a lower carbon footprint. Additionally, it can be biodegradable under certain conditions, which helps to minimise plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

You'll find up to three numbers on glasses frames, and they stand for the lens width, bridge width, and temple length. All measurements are in mm. These numbers are written on the inside of one arm and may be separated by spaces or dashes. Often, a small square shape separates the lens width from the bridge width.
