ACETATE
ABOUT ACETATE
Hot Futures eyewear frames are handmade from high grade cellulose acetate, a semi-synthetic hypoallergenic material.
To produce this material, an organic base substance made from cotton and wood pulp is combined with a plasticiser to create a hard, robust yet flexible material which can be carved, shaped and polished into the desired form.
We take a sustainable first approach when selecting our acetates for production.
RECYCLED ACETATE
Our recycled acetate is made from acetate material which is reclaimed from cutting room waste. It is reformed, pressed and reprocessed into a recycled acetate material suitable for high grade eyewear production without compromising on quality.
Our Recycled Acetate meets Global Recycled Standard.
ECO ACETATE
Biodegradable and recyclable acetate made in the same way as standard acetate but only using bio-based raw materials and plasticisers.
FSC CERTIFIED
FSC certified acetate is made using cotton and wood pulp sourced from Forest Stewardship Council certified sources.
