You heard it right! Sunglasses made from recycled chip packets.

Anish, with eyes sharp on his innovative designs, painted a stark picture of a planet suffocated by plastic evidenced by the "Mt. Everest of chip packets" adorning his digital shelves.
His solution? A sartorial alchemy, transmuting "waste" into "worth" by repurposing plastic into eyewear that is as durable as it is stylish. He even divulged their secret weapon – a proprietary chemical treatment that grants these recycled wonders unexpected strength and a playful flair.
Without was not merely a shield against digital glare. It was a beacon illuminating the often-unseen heroes of our plastic mountains – the waste pickers. Anish's voice softened as he spoke of fair wages, flexible hours, and fostering a digital community within their supply chain. His pride shone through as he recounted Rani's tale, a single mother whose children now wore smiles as radiant as the sunglasses she helped create.
