M49 Mazzucchelli Bioacetate is a type of bio-based acetate material that offers several sustainability benefits. It is derived from renewable resources, such as plant-based materials, making it more environmentally friendly compared to conventional acetate derived from fossil fuels.

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. The adoption of M49 Mazzucchelli Bioacetate can be a step towards promoting a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to various industries.

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.
