A leap in the eyewear industry's adoption of sustainability practices was marked at Mido with the Italian Association of Optical Goods Manufacturers (ANFAO) introducing an environmental qualification label for the sector’s products: Certified Sustainable Eyewear (CSE).
An ANFAO statement said it is hoped the certificate will become the new product sustainability standard for the industry, certifying glasses and their components.
The project emphasises the commitment of our members to lessen the environmental impact of the supply chain, said Lorraine Berton, ANFAO president. “With the CSE certification we will be able to guide eyewear companies, primarily SMEs, into the future of sustainability, along a path that is oriented toward environmental, social and economic issues."
