Titanium possesses numerous terrific properties for eyewear production. It’s durable, super light-weight and very flexible. The beta-titanium used in EOE frames is the only non-recycled material in EOE frames as of today. However, the ambition is to shortly be able to offer regrind-titanium, with the same process used for acetate frames.
The acetate used in all EOE frames is made out of a mix of wood and cotton pulp. The process for the making of the cellulose acetate contains a treatment of two different fibers; seeds (cotton) and wood (from conifer and broadleaf deciduous trees). Both wood and cotton are renewable resources and available and easily accessible in our very close nature. What separates the EOE biodegradable acetate to the acetate that is normally used for eyewear, is foremost that it doesn’t contain any petroleum or phthalates – which are considered to be so poisonous it’s even forbidden in the production of toys and children’s products.
