Las empresas unen fuerzas para reducir los desechos plásticos mientras FGX adopta Tritan™ Renew

KINGSPORT, Tenn., 22 de marzo de 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FGX International, un diseñador y comercializador líder de lentes de lectura sin prescripción, monturas ópticas y lentes de sol, está colaborando con la empresa global de materiales especiales Eastman para llevar monturas de lentes innovadoras y sostenibles a la moda de las gafas del mercado masivo.

FGX International adoptó el copoliéster Eastman Tritan™ Renew en enero de 2022 y lo implantará en toda su cartera. La conversión comenzará con monturas de la icónica colección Foster Grant® y se expandirá a otras marcas FGX.

FGX International, an EssilorLuxottica company, is a leading designer and marketer of nonprescription reading glasses, optical frames, and sunglasses with a portfolio of established, highly recognized eyewear brands and ecommerce channels including Foster Grant®, Gargoyles®, Readers.com®, SunglassWarehouse.com®, and SolarShield®.

Tritan Renew es un copoliéster de alto rendimiento fabricado con un 50% de contenido reciclado certificado** derivado de las tecnologías de reciclaje molecular de Eastman. Transparente como el cristal, duradero y sin BPA, Tritan Renew ofrece beneficios de sostenibilidad y una experiencia de usuario superior en relación con los materiales que se utilizan tradicionalmente en las monturas de lentes moldeadas por inyección.

"FGX International es líder en el mercado de las lentes y, como tal, estamos comprometidos a impulsar continuamente la innovación en todo lo que hacemos mientras buscamos materiales que sean mejores para el planeta", dijo Sal Mauceri, presidente de la división de sol y lectores, Essilor Luxottica. "Tritan Renew no solo ofrece una apariencia superior en comparación con los marcos de policarbonato, sino que, con un 50% de contenido reciclado certificado, también ofrece la solución sostenible que los consumidores demandan y merecen".

Eastman fabrica Tritan Renew a través de sus tecnologías de reciclaje molecular de material a material, que producen materiales de alto rendimiento a partir de desechos plásticos que, de lo contrario, terminarían en vertederos. Estas tecnologías de reciclaje avanzadas complementan los enfoques de reciclaje tradicionales y amplían los tipos y cantidades de plástico que se pueden reciclar. Esto otorga a los materiales una vida útil prolongada y desvía los desechos plásticos de los vertederos, los incineradores y el medio ambiente, al tiempo que reduce el consumo de materias primas fósiles y reduce las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.

Eastman ofrece una cartera de materiales sostenibles con altos niveles de contenido reciclado certificado para anteojos premium y de mercado masivo. Las ofertas de Eastman, que incluyen Eastman Acetate Renew, Tenite™ Renew y Tritan Renew, brindan soluciones sostenibles para monturas, patillas y lentes impulsadas por tecnologías revolucionarias de reciclaje molecular.

"Dada la prominencia de FGX en la industria, estamos orgullosos de asociarnos con ellos para traer marcos sostenibles y asequibles derivados de las tecnologías de reciclaje molecular de Eastman al mercado masivo de lentes", dijo Glenn Goldman, director comercial de plásticos especiales en Eastman. "La sustentabilidad es importante para todos los consumidores y en todos los puntos de precio, y estamos entusiasmados de trabajar con FGX para que las opciones de lentes sostenibles estén disponibles para todos".

*Tritan Renew de Eastman se fabrica a través de la tecnología de renovación de poliéster de Eastman que utiliza desechos de poliéster mezclados (por ejemplo, botellas de refrescos, alfombras y ropa a base de poliéster) como materia prima.

**A través de sus tecnologías de reciclaje molecular, Eastman produce productos circulares que están certificados por la Certificación Internacional de Sostenibilidad y Carbono (ISCC) por asignación de balance de masa. ISCC es un sistema de certificación global de terceros que aborda los requisitos de sostenibilidad para todas las materias primas y mercados. La contabilidad de balance de masa rastrea el contenido reciclado utilizado en sistemas de fabricación complejos. Cuando se descomponen los desechos plásticos, las moléculas de los componentes básicos se colocan en un inventario virtual de la cantidad de contenido sostenible generado. Para producir productos que lleven contenido reciclado certificado, se realiza un retiro del banco de crédito para dar cuenta de los bloques de construcción reciclados.
