We’ll craft made-to-measure precision lenses to bring your favourite sunglasses back to life.
Simply post them to us and relax while we do the rest.
Every April, Earth Month reminds us that the way we use things matters. It is a time to reflect not just on what we buy, but what we keep, what we repair, and what we choose not to throw away.
This year feels especially meaningful for us at The Sunglass Fix. In 2026, we mark 20 years since Craig Anderson decided to fix a few scratched pairs of sunglasses instead of discarding them. That simple decision became the foundation of everything we do today.
And this year, we’re proud to share that milestone alongside an organisation working toward the same goal in a very different way: Re-use Hawai‘i.
To celebrate Earth Month, The Sunglass Fix created a short video together with Re-use Hawai‘i, sharing the values behind what we do and why reuse matters.
It’s a simple story, but it reflects something bigger—the idea that reuse is not just a concept, but a practical solution that can be applied to almost anything, from a tiny screw to a massive timber beam.
Two decades ago, Craig saw value where others saw waste. Instead of replacing scratched sunglasses, he focused on restoring them. That idea grew into a business built around extending the life of products.
At the same time, Re-use Hawai‘i was taking on a much larger challenge. Their work focuses on buildings, materials, and communities. Instead of demolishing structures, they carefully deconstruct them piece by piece, recovering materials that can be reused and made accessible to others.
Different industries, different scales, but the same belief: things don’t need to become waste just because they’re no longer perfect.
At The Sunglass Fix, reuse is not just an idea we talk about during Earth Month, it is something we have been putting into practice for the past 20 years. Every replacement lens we provide is a practical way to help customers keep the sunglasses they already own and avoid unnecessary waste.
That is why supporting Re-use Hawai‘i feels so meaningful. While their work focuses on recovering building materials on a much larger scale, both approaches are built on the same principle: extending the life of what already exists.
For us, this partnership is also a reminder that sustainability does not always require dramatic change. Sometimes, it starts with a simple decision to repair, restore, and keep using something that still has value.
It’s easy to think that a pair of sunglasses doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but the numbers tell a different story. In Australia alone, over 250 metric tonnes of eyewear end up in landfills every year.
Every time you choose to repair your favorite frames instead of buying new ones, you are casting a vote for a more sustainable future. You are choosing to rethink how we consume and opting to extend the life of things that were made to last.
2026 marks a 20-year milestone for both The Sunglass Fix and Re-use Hawai‘i. While our paths have been very different, our shared history has proven one thing: people are ready and willing to make better choices when the alternative is simple, high-quality, and effective.
As we look toward the future and the world we are leaving for the next generation, these partnerships matter more than ever. It’s why we are proud to be members of 1% for the Planet and to stand alongside organizations like Re-use Hawai‘i who prove that "waste" is just a resource waiting for a second chance.
Earth Month is a reminder, but the idea behind it doesn’t end there.
The most meaningful impact comes from the choices we repeat every day. Choosing to repair instead of replace. Keeping something a little longer. Seeing value where we might not have before.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. This April, let’s keep choosing to reuse—not just this month, but every month.
