Botaniq Materials

Botaniq eyewear made with plant-based acetate

Our plant-based acetate consists of plant-based material made from certified sustainable vegetal sources such as cotton linters or wood pulp. plant-based acetate is identical in look, feel, and performance to traditional acetate of the highest quality, but results in an eyewear frame with a much lower carbon footprint, reduced by up to a third when compared to the traditional manufacturing process. Plant-based acetate relies on renewable plant-based sources to reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional acetate production. 

Botaniq eyewear made with Eastman Acetate Renew

Acetate Renew is made from at least 25% certified recycled and 40% plant-based content and offers the same traditional acetate aesthetics and performance– but revitalized using Eastman’s Advanced Circular Recycling technologies to divert single-use waste from the landfill.  Acetate Renew focuses on recycling post-consumer waste such as discarded plastic products to create a responsible acetate material.  Acetate Renew meets rigorous performance standards and provides significant environmental benefits such as landfill diversion, resource conservation, and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 

*Eastman Acetate Renew is powered by Eastman’s revolutionary recycling technology that transforms single-use plastic waste into durable materials, offsetting the use of fossil resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. 

Botaniq is made with approximately 60% recycled stainless steel

Our stainless steel offers lightweight comfort and sourced from approximately 60% recycled material.
