- Care: Your Have a Look glasses always come in a felt case, so they are guaranteed to reach you safely. And so you can look after them; use a fibre cloth and warm water with a bit of soap if your glasses get greasy, or polish with a glasses cloth to remove finger prints.
WHAT ARE BIOPLASTICS?
Bioplastics are plastic materials derived from biomass (e.g. maize, beets, sugar cane, bamboo etc.), whereas traditional plastic is made from crude oil (a fossil resource). Have A Look's new BIOplastic is derived from the castor oil plant – from the oil from its beans, to be precise.
Like their traditional plastic (polycarbonate) glasses, the BIOplastic glasses are quality glasses with a long lifetime. They are not made to be decomposed in nature. Like their traditional plastic glasses, Have A Look's BIOplastic glasses are 100% recyclable and should be put in the plastic waste container when their useful life is up, to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.
