OJO, as a highly responsible company dedicated to providing high-quality sunglasses and optical glasses, has since its start of operation placed great importance on both sustainability and the adoption of green practices and policies. Thus, for years we have included in our strategy various proposals and tactics that respect the environment, benefiting the planet and ourselves.
Ecological Paper Glasses Cases
One of the main reasons we invested and continue to invest in eco-friendly paper cases alongside traditional OJO eyeglass cases, is our commitment to helping reduce our ecological footprint and plastic pollution, which harms sea life, ecosystems and human health. Thus, by choosing OJO eco paper cases, we minimize our contribution to this global survival problem.
The eco-friendly paper we use is biodegradable and recyclable and ensures that even if our cases end up in landfills or oceans, they won't take centuries to decompose like other materials. Of course, we recommend their proper recycling in special paper bins.
These cases reflect a natural, earthy aesthetic that complements the OJO brand's commitment to sustainability, while providing a sleek look and feel that enhances the overall customer experience. In it, you can also find the OJO ecological cleaning cloth made of 100% cotton that guarantees high quality cleaning of your glasses.
Ecological line of OJO sunglasses.
At OJO, realizing that today's consumers are more environmentally conscious than ever and are increasingly looking for proposals that align with their values, we have been presenting for a year ecological glasses made of BioAcetate S70, made from materials of natural origin, without harmful chemicals and harmful plasticizers, which are environmentally friendly.
Specifically, the material from which a plastic of natural origin is made, consisting of 62% of biological materials, which during their creation collect CO2 from the atmosphere, thus contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, up to 90% of their material is biodegradable and recyclable!
This new OJO range is available in all our stores, both physically and in their online store.
Ecological OJO Packaging
At OJO, having 13 years of experience and operation and having in our culture the best "friendly" service to the consumer as well as respect for the environment, in addition to ecological glasses cases, we have also invested in other green methods and tactics. Some of them are the manufacture of eco-friendly reusable OJO bags that are given to all our customers as well as cotton handmade OJO bags, which are perfect for everyday use due to their design as well as their elegance. At the same time, OJO cardboard product transport boxes are always used to transport products between our stores.
Creation of "Green" OJO stores
Our stores, since the beginning of their operation for 13 years, have adopted environmentally friendly policies, continuously developing them with various methods. For the painting of their premises, ecological - environmentally friendly - paints, without chemicals, have been chosen. At the same time, electronic devices have been chosen as well as AA+ energy class lighting, which is friendlier to the environment, as they do not consume enough energy.
Volunteer Tree Planters OJO
With the slogan "Think Green", everyone at OJO makes sure to make the world greener, with regular tree planting. The specific actions have been included in our program, donating and planting over 500 trees in the municipality of Engomi as well as in other municipalities, both in Cyprus and Greece.
By implementing the above, we hope that we will also put our little stone towards the further cultivation of an even greener culture in society, especially in the new generations, who are the future of the world. So, we at OJO, not only invite you to protect your eyes from harmful radiation, but also to join together to protect and keep the planet clean and friendly, for generations to come.
