About the Brand
Parafina designs sunglasses, reading glasses, and children's glasses made from recycled materials. Its approach is based on upcycling, an innovative method that transforms waste into high-quality products. Recycling materials such as PET plastic, used tires, and aluminum cans helps reduce the environmental footprint while offering stylish and durable products. Parafina also donates 5% of its sales to scholarships for children in Paraguay, reinforcing its ethical and solidarity commitment.
Eco-Friendly Impact
Parafina stands out for its use of recycled and environmentally friendly materials. By using recycled PET plastic, used tires, and aluminum cans, the brand limits the production of new polluting materials while promoting a circular economy. The brand is also a certified B Corp, a testament to its commitment to responsible practices. Parafina contributes not only to the protection of the environment but also to education by funding scholarships for underprivileged children in Paraguay. Every purchase therefore contributes to a dual impact: environmental and social.
