How Our Eyewear Brand Uses Recycled Vinyl Records To Create Eyeglasses?
Today's sustainable age where every other industry is taking important steps to offer something innovative to the customers that is environment friendly as well, the eyewear fashion industry is also going hand in hand. As a sustainable eyewear brand, Vinylize is also proud to be a part of the mission and helping the whole industry towards the global mission of sustainability. We make sustainable eyeglasses by using recycled vinyl records. Today, we will let you go through how our eyewear brand uses this eco-friendly material to provide you with different varieties of sustainable eyewear.
The Inspiration behind our Vinyl Recycling Eyeglasses
We are very deeply committed to helping globally on the mission of planet sustainability. As we all know plastics including vinyl (in the form of old records) just stay here and there as waste in landfills. Over the years, the quantity has been increasing a lot. As a result, the old vinyl records do not decompose on their own and stay where they are for decades, ultimately depleting the environment. To be a part of the major global mission, we have started an initiative of building eyeglasses made from recycled material, i.e. old vinyl records. The sole aspiration is to protect the environment from the harmful effects of vinyl (which is itself a PVC) and offer something innovative to the market of the eyewear fashion industry.
The Process of Recycling: From Vinyl to Vision
The process of using old vinyl records to make eyewear is a multi-step process. Each step is important and involves too much precision to make sure that the end result (the eyewear) is perfectly sustainable.
Let's understand the step-by-step procedure of making recycled glasses from vinyl below:
Sourcing the Vinyl Records
First, we step on collecting old vinyl records from places such as thrift stores, music collectors, and people who want to reduce waste on the earth. A major part of the material comes from donated or discarded materials. This approach makes sure that the process of creating eyeglasses made from recycled material is sustainable from the very start.
Cleaning and Preparing the Records
After collecting the vinyl records, the second step is to clean them properly to let go of any dirt or residue present on the objects. After that, we make the vinyl records ready for the next step of vinyl recycling.
Heating and Molding the vinyl
As you know plastics are very rigid, hence it is not that easy to give them any kind of shape by playing around. That's why, the process involves first of all heating the vinyl over significant temperatures and then the experts can mold them very easily to give any kind of shape (in this case, the shape of eyewear frames). The sole aim of heating The vinyl at first is to prepare it for the final precision and accuracy in making eco-friendly eyeglass.
Cutting and Assembling the Frames
The process does not end with just giving the shape of frames to the vinyl records. The most important part comes ahead. Now, the team uses precision tools to create a different variety of designs for the frames. A majority of options that you come across are the result of this very interesting step where craftsmanship comes along. After giving the proper shapes and cutting the frames, they are polished and given a smooth appearance to make sure that the sustainable eyewear is of the highest quality.
Adding Lenses
Now comes the final step of making eco friendly eyeglass, i.e. adding the lenses and making the spectacles ready to wear for you.
The Unique Aesthetic of Vinyl Eyewear
With every pair of recycled vinyl spectacles, you get a unique aesthetic to wear. At Vinylize, you will not find two pairs of glasses being the same. The team works very creatively with dedication to offer something new and innovative with every product. If you are a music lover, this eyewear made up of vinyl records can be special to you. For such people, these spectacles are both an eco-conscious step and carrying sentiments together.
Making a Fashion Statement with a Purpose

With each pair of eyeglasses curated under the precision of excellent craftsmanship, you play an important role in a more sustainable future. By carrying fashion statements with a purpose, you are also spreading awareness about the conservation of nature which is very important in today's world.
