Mykita has strengthened its commitment to environmentally responsible material sourcing by announcing that all optical demo lenses will be produced using Eastman Tritan Renew. As of April 2026, all new Mykita product deliveries will feature demo lenses linked to this recycled material. As optical frames account for the majority of Mykita’s business, demo lenses represent the company’s largest single lens purchase. This comprehensive transition is expected to deliver a meaningful reduction in material impact across the collections. The environmental benefit is described as equivalent to preventing approximately 150,000 single use water bottles from reaching landfill each year. Mykita Founder and Creative Director Moritz Krüger commented, “Demo lenses have always been a small yet unavoidable part of every optical frame. With Tritan Renew, we reduce the impact of this component without compromising function or quality, further advancing the use of recycled materials across our collections.” Rachel Oakley, Segment Manager at Eastman, added, “Material improvements, even in overlooked components, can add up to meaningful progress. We are pleased to support Mykita in expanding the use of Eastman Renew materials.”
