Why choose eco-friendly sunglasses?
At the heart of MHOAS lies a unique vision: to transform the way we interact with our environment, turning environmental challenges into opportunities for innovation and style. Founded by a group of nature lovers, MHOAS was born in response to a growing need for sustainability in the world of fashion.
Our story begins with a simple but striking observation: the world's oceans are flooded with marine waste, an environmental problem that grows every day. Determined to make a difference, we set out to create something beautiful and practical from this challenge. The idea was clear: to design high-quality sunglasses that would not only offer protection and style, but also promote environmental awareness and action.
Innovation and sustainability became the pillars of our brand. Every pair of MHOAS sunglasses is the result of a careful and considered process, from the selection of materials to design and manufacturing. Using exclusively recycled ocean plastic, we strive to reduce our environmental impact while offering people products that are both stylish and environmentally responsible.
MHOAS is not just a brand; it is a movement towards a more sustainable future. By choosing us, you join a community that values conscious fashion and positive impact. Together, we are proving that it is possible to live and dress sustainably without compromising on quality or style.
Through our dedication to innovation and sustainability, we strive to inspire positive change in the fashion industry and beyond, promoting a world where fashion and care for the environment can coexist harmoniously.
Welcome to MHOAS, where every pair of glasses tells a story of hope, change and commitment to our planet.
Advantages of Mhoas sunglasses
What makes these glasses so special, apart from how good they look and their commitment to the oceans? Let us tell you why you can rest assured that you are taking care of your eyes and the planet at the same time.
Yes, BPA-free
Now, let's talk about being BPA-free. Did you know that many glasses use plastic containing Bisphenol A (BPA)? This chemical compound has been linked to certain harmful health effects. That's why at MHOAS we go one step further. We set out to create glasses that, even though it takes more work, are made from 100% recycled ocean plastic and, yes, completely BPA-free. This means you're not only protecting your eyes from the sun, but also choosing a product that is safer for you and kinder to the planet.
Why Does BPA-Free Plastic Matter?
If you still have doubts, choosing BPA-free products in general is like giving your health a high five. You avoid exposure to a chemical that could harm your health through food stored in bottles or containers made with Bisphenol A, especially when they are subjected to temperature changes. Under these conditions, particles are released that contaminate the food, which has led to worrying findings.
Plastic products containing BPA have been found to be linked to a range of problems and diseases, including brain disorders, hormonal imbalances, increased blood pressure, prostate damage and effects on the development of foetuses, babies and children, among other negative effects on human health.
100% recycled ocean plastic
The frame is made from 100% Reco_PEA, a material made from a blend of bio-based and recycled plastic ingredients. The recycled component comes from polyester bottles, films and cosmetic packaging, while the bio-carbon is derived from starch-rich plants. These plants capture CO₂ from the air and convert it into starch through photosynthesis. The vinasse resulting from the fermentation of these plants is then used to produce bio-based ethylene glycol.
The end product is a glycol-modified copolyester, an amorphous polymer known for its consistent transparency without the need for crystallisation treatment during processing.
- Compuestos ecológicos: 94% poliéster reciclado y 6% de glicol de origen biológico
- Material sostenible certificado
- Fuente de reciclaje: Envase cosmético, Películas en blister y botellas.
Lenses that give you more
Polarized TAC lenses: technology and benefits
Polarized lenses represent a revolution in optics, providing innovative solutions to everyday vision problems in bright light conditions. Among them, TAC lenses stand out for their unique construction and exceptional properties.
Below we explain what makes polarized TAC lenses so special, from their definition and theory to their superior performance.
What are polarized TAC lenses?
Polarized TAC lenses consist of seven meticulously laminated layers of advanced materials, designed to deliver maximum polarization efficiency and protection against ultraviolet rays. The structure of these lenses is as follows:
- Polarizing film: Located at the heart of the lens, this layer provides more than 99% polarization efficiency, effectively eliminating glare.
- Bonding layers: The second and third layers work under extreme conditions, withstanding cutting, heating and bending, ensuring the durability of the lens.
- Ultraviolet absorption layers: The fourth and fifth layers absorb more than 99% of UV rays, protecting the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
- Impact-resistant layers: The outer layers improve the hardness and impact resistance of the lens, minimising scratches and extending its useful life.
Exceptional performance
TAC lenses are not only robust in their construction, they also offer a range of benefits that significantly improve the visual experience of the wearer:
- High-quality materials: They use the finest TAC material, combining IPI films made in Germany and Japanese Kuraray PVA, renowned for its superior quality.
- Complete UV protection: They offer 100% protection against UVA, UVB and UVC rays up to 400 nm, guaranteeing comprehensive eye protection.
- Clear, glare-free vision: Thanks to their high polarization efficiency, they eliminate glare, allowing sharper and more comfortable vision.
- Durability and easy care: They offer high scratch resistance, resist stains and are easy to clean, ensuring a long service life.
- Excellent lamination: Their manufacturing process prevents delamination, maintaining the integrity of the layers over time.
- Superior clarity: With a significantly low haze index, these lenses offer exceptional clarity, exceeding national and international standards.
Polarized TAC lenses are undoubtedly a smart choice if you are looking not only for protection and durability, but also for an optimal visual experience in any light conditions. By combining the most advanced materials and design technology, these lenses set a new standard in eye care and visual comfort.
At Mhoas, we offer sunglasses that stand out not only for their design and commitment to the oceans, but also for their sustainable approach. Our lenses are made with Reco_Pea 15, an innovative material derived from bio-based and recycled plastics that stands out for its exceptional clarity and resistance, contributing to an ecological approach that is essential for the future of manufacturing.
Being polarized, they eliminate annoying glare, enhancing colours and contrast for clear, sharp vision.
What sets us apart is our use of 100% recycled ocean plastics that are BPA-free, offering a product that is safe for the wearer and kind to the planet.
Choosing our glasses means opting for a solution that protects your eyes and your health and contributes to cleaning the oceans, in line with the circular economy and proving that business success and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. With every purchase, you take a step towards a cleaner future, supporting our mission to make a positive difference for the planet.
