Innovative eyewear brand based in the UK. Pala produces high-quality, ethically made eyewear and has ethical and sustainable practices as a priority

For every pair of sunglasses sold, Pala gives back to eye-care programmes in Africa by providing grants to vision centres, dispensaries and screening programmes. To date, thousands of sight-impaired people have had their lives changed and their ability to earn an income enhanced thanks to receiving a pair of prescription glasses. Additionally, they work alongside a Ghanaian-based NGO to support weaving communities to make their protective sunglasses cases. They provide a trade and an income to help them empower themselves whilst upholding tradition

Pala is B Corp certified meaning that they meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Additionally, since 2020 onwards all new styles added to Pala's collection are exclusively made from Italian bio-acetate, which is an entirely biodegradable material and contains zero plastic

Pala is a small business founded by John Pritchard, who built his brand on the idea of keeping their impact on the planet low, and their impact on people high. There are 1.2 billion people worldwide with poor vision simply because they are unable to receive basic surgery or access glasses, and Africa has 73% more visually impaired people than any other region in the world. John wanted to help this problem with his brand, giving glasses and enabling people to read, learn and work

Recycled polyester also known as rPET, is created by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. This fabric can be made from either post-industrial or post-consumer materials. For example, 5 water bottles yield enough fiber for one extra large T-shirt. This material repurposes existing plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill or the ocean. 

Recycled polyester’s sustainable production requires low resources and energy to produce, and contributes low CO2 emissions. It also reduces the need to extract crude oil and natural gas from the ground to make more plastic, which is much better for the Earth.

Recycled polyester has not much difference from virgin polyester. It exhibits high strength, durability, versatility, and performance, lasting long in your closet, and surviving expected wear and tear easily.

Garments from recycled polyester aim to be continuously recycled without degradation of quality, allowing for circularity.

A synthetic material. However, instead of utilizing new materials to craft the fabric (i.e. petroleum), recycled polyester makes use of existing plastic.
