DISCOVER ALAIN MIKLI BRAND’S
RESPONSIBLE APPROACH
At Essilorluxottica, waste plays no part in our vision of the future.
EssilorLuxottica’s goal is to minimize the impact on the environment while enhancing product excellence and quality.
And this philosophy is also at the heart of Alain Mikli brand: nothing should be thrown away, everything should be transformed. We aim to follow a responsible approach for the frames and their packaging.
IN STORE TOOL
EssilorLuxottica collects internal plastic scraps (Polycarbonate) from sun lenses production process and sends them to recycling partners.
Partner1 sorts Polycarbonate waste and grinds it to generate a secondary raw material.
Through an extrusion process the supplier produces recycled plastic granules with 90% recycled content. Recycled granules are ready to be injected again.
Partner2 injects recycled granules and makes black sheets.
These sheets are cut and laminated to obtain Alain Mikli display made with 90% recycled plastic.
PRODUCT

Alain Mikli is incorporating innovative materials into its upcoming collections**. The acetate frames are now crafted using bio-recycled acetate. This significant stride aligns with the brand’s responsible objectives.
*These eyewear frames are partially made with bio-based recycled acetate having 27% recycled content and 67%* bio-based carbon content (representing the amount of raw material coming from plant-based sources vs. fossil-based sources). (*tested according to ASTM D-6866 standard)
