Sustainable eyewear partnership formed

Thélios, Mazucchelli 1849 and Eastman are working together

Thélios has partnered with acetate manufacturer Mazzuccheli 1849 and speciality materials company Eastman to achieve more sustainability in the eyewear industry.

Giovanni Orsi Mazzucchelli, chair of Mazzucchelli 1849, said: ‘This project is part of a sustainability path that Mazzucchelli has been pursuing for several years. We believe in sustainability and we are proud to be part of this virtuous cycle together with Eastman and Thélios.’
