OKIA Receives Intertek Green Leaf Mark Certification

Friday, June 26 2020 | 16 h 32 min | News, Press Release

OKIA has been awarded the Intertek Green Leaf Mark, a consumer product and systems verification that confirms your environmental claims have been independently verified.

The certification comes as a result of the company’s development of BIO-RPET, a revolutionary material that embraces the 3R eco concept (recycle / reduce / recover) and takes form in RESHAPE™, an upcycling eyewear collection crafted exclusively from five water bottles to produce one pair of eyeglasses.

The RESHAPE™ collection is made of 100% recycled PET material, a petroleum-based product. This material is also 100% BPA free and allows the production of frames with a high impact resistance. The upgraded version of RESHAPE™ can ultimately break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass after a five-year biodegradation process.
