Beta Steel
The material is German stainless steel, which is made from more than 50% recycled materials. The frame is made in Korea.

The material is called Beta Steel, but to be precise, it is made from stainless steel.
Stainless steel is made from metals and elements such as iron, chromium, and nickel, and has the characteristic of being "rust-free." It is a material used in watches, etc. On the other hand, regular stainless steel is known to be the most allergenic material because it contains nickel, but Beta Steel does not contain nickel. It is a material that is less likely to cause metal allergy symptoms while retaining the characteristic of not rusting. In addition, this material is stronger than beta titanium, so it can reduce distortion during use. More than 50% of Beta Steel frames are produced from recycled materials.

All rim wires are manufactured in Germany, and final production is carried out in Korea.

●Bio-Acetate
In the eyewear industry, waste is said to account for 70-80% of the total weight of materials involved in the production process. We had a hard time finding a material that was suitable for glasses and could minimize the negative impact on the earth. Cotton, which is mainly used for acetate, was quickly excluded as a material for WAITING FOR THE SUN because it takes a lot of water to grow and is often sourced from problematic regions.

WAITING FOR THE SUN's bio-acetate sides are recyclable. We collect waste from machining and reuse some of it in the manufacturing process of the material. Our bio-acetate is made from wood fibre. Well-managed and well-grown forests contribute to reducing greenhouse gases. Growing trees release more oxygen and absorb more CO2 than aging trees.

Our plastic frames are 100% biodegradable plastic. This bio-acetate has been verified and certified (in accordance with ISO14855) by OWS (Organic Waste Systems), an internationally recognized independent laboratory specializing in biodegradability testing.
