Good Citizens Eyewear

Sydney, NSW
Female-led
Social Impact

There was a time that if someone approached you with glasses they made from old plastic bottles, you’d say, “Graeme, could you put pants on before you come to our door?” But times have changed. Our mates Good Citizens have taken the world by storm with their super stylish, repairable, recycled and recyclable eyewear all made from discarded single use plastic. 

Made in Sydney, Good Citizen’s stunning frames have won fans and awards (including two Good Design Awards) the world over. Their story is so extraordinary, the creators have even been asked to speak to the United Nations. 

So help untrash the planet and look great doing it.

On a mission to help untrash the planet of single-use plastic

Good Citizens Eyewear was born over a family dinner discussion about global plastic waste. Harry (8) and Archie (6) were upset about the plastic waste issue and they hassled Mum and Dad to step up. Together (with no experience), they hatched a plan to help untrash the planet®.

They scribbled down four guiding principles:

1) Only use 100% recycled materials


2) Make products that last


3) Don't exploit people or the planet


4) Employees get time with their kids or loved ones.

It would take 752 days and thousands of failed attempts to finally launch Good Citizens Eyewear in 2020, and the brand continues today with their founding principles still at the core of every decision they make.
