French Morel presents Valerien, a new eyewear model made from 100% recycled acetate in collaboration with local partner Decoracet. Morel has been investing in and collaborating with a specific recycled acetate process since 2014 in order to adopt a virtuous local approach within a circular economy. The renowned French brand is working with a local partner, Decoracet, a French acetate producer with unique recycling know-how, to recycle leftovers from acetate frame production. Decoracet supplies Morel with new acetate sheets produced by thermo-compression using granules derived from acetate residues. As a product of this partnership, Valerien is also made from 100% locally produced recycled acetate. The concept reimagines Morel’s iconic Tydée design to develop acetate temples. Valerien offers a variety of colors and finishes, with beautiful tones and subtle plays of transparency that give character to each frame.
