We have an eye for the environment
At OjeOje, we always keep an eye on the environment. We design unique reading glasses and sunglasses that catch the eye and spread joy with their brightly coloured recycled plastic.
Discover all our recycled reading glasses
• All our glasses are recycled and carefully made from recycled plastic, which comes from transparent plastic packaging from food, bottles and screw caps. Instead of ending up as waste, it is crushed and re-transformed into unique, cool and colourful OjeOje reading glasses and sunglasses that you can mix, match and complete your look with - and create extra attention!
• All our glasses are 100% phthalate-free.
• Each pair of glasses comes with a cool recycled case.
• We reduce our CO2 footprint by using limited amounts of packaging and exclusively FSC-certified paper.
• We produce everything possible in Denmark. Our glasses are designed here in Denmark, and then produced by our carefully selected GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified manufacturer in Taiwan.
• We say no to overproduction, and only produce new glasses when we see the need for it.
• We also design reading glasses from existing glasses, which have been assembled in a new, colourful and sustainable way. The purpose of the design is to emphasize our focus on upcycling, as there is no need for us to burden our planet by constantly producing new things.
• Our upcycled fabric cases are hand-sewn by volunteer Soroptimists in Denmark from surplus fabric from the textile company Kvadrat. All proceeds from the sale of cases go to Soroptimist International's important work: to improve the lives and status of women and girls.
• We support the Danish environmental organization Plastic Change, which fights for ambitious goals for the reduction and recycling of plastic.
• We donate reading glasses to refugee camps in Mizoram through CHO (Chin Health Organisation).
• We donate reading glasses to women in Burundi and Bangladesh through the slow fashion company Coffee Beanies and the interior company Manelleh. We want to aim to raise the standard of living for women worldwide.

• We collaborate with Væksthuset, where we help unemployed citizens who need extra help and support.
We think of everything that matters
At OjeOje, we produce everything possible in Denmark. Our glasses are designed here in the country, and then produced by our carefully selected GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified manufacturer in Taiwan. Our cool glasses cases are made from FSC-certified paper, and our colourful glasses cords are hand-knitted or hand-crocheted from no-waste yarn. At OjeOje, we therefore only create glasses and accessories by considering the climate in terms of materials, production, production conditions, distribution and our choice of partners. We believe this is a matter of course!
Shop and support
You can also buy an upcycled case in the shop and at the same time help support Soroptimist Denmark. The popular soft cases are hand-sewn by volunteer Soroptimists in Kolding from fabric scraps from Kvadrat. All proceeds from the sale of cases go to Soroptimist International's important work: to improve the lives and status of women and girls. Shop upcycled cases
What is recycling?
Recycling literally means reuse or repurposing. Here you take a material and transform it into something else. The original material must first be broken down before it becomes something new. Recycling is an important process, as it allows us to reuse materials that we no longer need. Instead of ending up as waste, it is crushed and transformed into something new. A good example is our glasses, which are made from recycled plastic that was previously food packaging, bottles or screw caps.
What is upcycling?
Upcycling is about reusing materials as they are. The materials are used again in their existing form, but in a new way. Our soft fabric glasses cases are an excellent example of upcycling. They are sewn from surplus fabric from the Danish textile company Kvadrat. The fabric remains fabric, but goes from being scraps to becoming new, usable and unique glasses cases.
