As more and more companies look to ways to create sustainable products and manufacturing processes, new start-ups are popping up across the board that have foundations in that philosophy. Hemp Eyewear,
a new sunglasses brand created by Sam Whitten of Glasgow, UK, is one
of those companies. Whitten has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise
the funds needed to begin the first round of production, coming off a
successful New Designers 2014 tradeshow in London. The frames, made from
a hemp composite material consisting of hemp and flax fibres, are
formed through a compression moulding process, creating a strong,
lightweight, sustainable product, according to Whitten’s Kickstarter
page. All the materials used in Hemp Eyewear’s production are
sustainable and eco-friendly, the brand says.
