Marchon Eyewear has announced the renewal of its global partnership with Plastic Bank, a social fintech company committed to reducing plastic waste and alleviating poverty. Originally launched in 2022 with Marchon’s Dragon brand, the initiative now expands to include the Nautica and Columbia eyewear lines. The renewed collaboration aims to support the collection of plastic waste—particularly from vulnerable coastal areas in Brazil—while improving the livelihoods of local waste collectors. Together, Marchon and Plastic Bank are working to create positive environmental, social, and economic impacts. By choosing Nautica or Columbia eyewear, customers help support Marchon’s annual commitment to prevent at least 45,455 kg of plastic—equivalent to 2,272,750 500ml PET plastic bottles—from polluting the environment. Gabriele Bonapersona, Brand Director at Marchon Eyewear stated: We are very proud to renew our partnership with Plastic Bank, and these brands are undoubtedly the right fit for this program. We aim to carry this successful partnership forward and focus on the Nautica and Columbia brands to strengthen our commitment to greater social responsibility and to advance our Eyes On Tomorrow™ initiative, which aims to create a more sustainable future for our eyewear and operations.”
