As Malaysians become more eco-conscious, the demand for sustainable eyewear in Malaysia is growing steadily. Whether you’re motivated by reducing plastic waste or supporting ethical fashion, eco-friendly glasses offer a stylish way to make a difference without compromising vision clarity or comfort.
At Malaya Optical, we’re proud to support this movement by offering a curated selection of environmentally responsible eyewear brands including kid-friendly options and stylish frames made with innovative, low-impact materials.
What Is Sustainable Eyewear?
Sustainable eyewear refers to glasses made from eco-conscious materials and manufactured using ethical, low-waste methods. These frames often use:
- Bio-based or biodegradable acetate
- Recyclable stainless steel or aluminum
- Reclaimed marine plastic
- FSC-certified wood or bamboo
- Non-toxic coatings and dyes
- Low-carbon or zero-waste manufacturing processes
Many of these brands also reduce waste with reusable packaging and invest in long-lasting, repairable frame designs.

|---|---|---|
| Material | Petroleum-based plastics | Bio-based, biodegradable, or recycled |
| Environmental Impact | Higher carbon footprint | Lower emissions and waste |
