Making tomorrow's eyewear from yesterday's waste
Did you know that in the UK millions of pairs of cheap sunglasses and spectacles are thrown away each year?
We really hate that. Our mission is to help eliminate eyewear waste from landfill, reducing the demand for virgin materials and create a circular manufacturing process where possible.
If you have a pair of Birds (or any other brand frames) that have reached the end of their lifespan we can help you recycle them
