Bird Eyewear

Eco-friendly Sunglasses

For us it’s about reframing what really matters; people and planet. 

We seek out or innovate the best sustainable materials for our frames, including certified woods, bio-based acetate, renewable cork and recycled aluminium.

Every pair of Birds gives back through our Share Your Sun partnership with SolarAid. Helping to distribute solar light to families in Zambia and Malawi, replacing the use of fossil fuel burning lamps. 

In 2020 we became the first B Corp Certified eyewear brand in the UK, verified to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact, and balancing purpose with profit. For us it's a public statement that we are a force for good.

Our goal is that every pair of Birds leaves you feeling great and helps bring about change.

Founders: Ed & Lawrence

 

Specialties

A key aspect of our supply chain is understanding where raw material is sourced and the supply chain that supports it. Our suppliers meet the highest standards of manufacturing, including ISO9001 certifications, FDA and CE compliance, including FSC certifications for wood.

Our frames use Bio-acetate which is better for the environment and biodegradable. Unlike traditional acetate, bio-acetate is made without the use oil-based plasticisers.

Plant based dyes are used in our colouring of woods and acetate, and to top things off, we make our cleaning cloths from recycled plastic bottles.
