The frames are made from wheat-straw combined with plant-based polymers to make a bio plastic that is incredibly tough and durable. The super-tough polarised lenses are UV400 rated, providing 100% protection from UVA, UVB and harmful reflective glare.
Eco Beach is based on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast of West Wales. If you've never been here, you really should. It is packed with stunning countryside, miles of dramatic coastline and dozens of gorgeous sandy beaches. It's a great place to fly a kite! Eco Beach was created to help people enjoy the beach in a way that minimises the impact on these fragile environments. In everything we do, we aim to be sustainable, ethical and fun.
BioSunnies Classic
Our unisex BioSunnies Classic are some of the lightest, toughest, most comfortable and most eco friendly sunglasses on the market.

Turning Crop Waste Into Gorgeous Sunglasses
Wheat straw is a byproduct of wheat production and a renewable and sustainable alternative to most solid plastics.
It’s a BPA-free and food-grade material that can be made into all kinds of things, including sunglasses.
The stems of wheat contain a compound called Lignin which keeps the crop standing upright. When Lignin is combined with sugar a tough and durable bio-plastic can be created that lasts for years in normal use but is fully biodegradable in a composter.
It can also be melted back into a pulp which can be used again and again.
