Bio-acetate VS, Recycled acetate VS, Standard acetate glasses, what the difference between them?
In the market, acetate glasses frames and sunglasses is very common and popular, because of it's flexibility, reliable, long lasting and bright colors. In the past years, there is Bio-acetate, and recycled acetate material beginning to use, but what the difference between Bio-acetate glasses, recycled acetate glasses and standard acetate glasses frames?
Recycled acetate glasses is released to market these years, which is made from recycled acetate material, the full flow need to according to ISCC(International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) system, the requirement is entire process is traceable, from the raw material recycled process, and the producing process and to selling process, the process is strictly, currently less company can exactly do it. And during producing recycled acetate will be more difficult, since it's renewed material, will be more hard for polishing, and also there is more dots on it, that the final cost not cheaper than standard acetate frame, even higher.
ECO acetate glasses frames are made from eco acetate materials, which made from wooden or cotton, the materials are renewable resources, and after the eyeglasses frames no longer to use, it's degradable, environmentally friendly. The material features is the same to standard acetate materials, so the producing way and final quality is the same to standard acetate, just material cost is higher.
Standard acetate glasses frame are made from standard acetate, which is made from petroleum, the resource is not renewable, but in acetate frames the petroleum contents is very small percentage, so we don't need to over worried.
