WHAT IS SPEXCYCLE..?

Spexcycle is Australia's first closed-loop eyewear recycling initiative, founded by Chris Savage an experienced optical dispenser and eyewear designer with a vision for change.
Through our collection and recycling process, we transform eyewear waste into new, sustainable frames, giving discarded materials a second life.
By reducing landfill and conserving natural resources, Spexcycle offers optical practices and their clients an easy, impactful way to make a difference.
We are redefining the future of eyewear, one recycled frame at a time.

MAKING POSITIVE IMPACT TOGETHER!

We are inviting a select group of optical practices to join our exclusive spexcycle pilot program. As a participant, you'll get the opportunity to shape the future of sustainable eyewear with us, provide valuable feedback, and enjoy exclusive benefits tailored just for our partners.

At Spexcycle, we reject greenwashing and embrace genuine, accountable solutions prioritising environmental responsibility. Together, we're redifining what's possible in eyewear, shaping a circular future where waste is minimised and sustainability is more than a vision, it's a shared practice!

As the year comes to an end, there is one awesome thing left to finish off with.... The Makersville trail! This Saturday (16th December) from 10-4pm i have a stall with where there will be recycled earrings, sunglasses and a few other things available for your christmas shopping. So stop by .sydney and check out our stall and the other great makers

A huge thank you to everybody who was able to support the campaign! Thank you to those who purchased (your orders will be sent out as soon as possible), to those who donated, and also to those who shared the campaign or even just sent messages of support. A lot was learnt through the process, by successes and mistakes.
I managed to raise just over $2500 which will enable me to upgrade 2 of the moulds for the wooden sides, along with the resources to make a new milling table. I will be sure to post the process of making these awesome new pieces of equipment through January.

For those who werent able to grab a reward through the campaign, i will be at .sydney this Saturday for my final trading day of the year with plenty of earrings and sunglasses to meet your last minute Christmas purchases, before I take a break for Christmas.

Thank you again.

It may be sweltering here in sydney, but the frame making never stops!
Today I am making a bespoke replica for a client with a very high script. The frame needs to be stylish but also very practical.

Such amazing support! Thank you soo much to those who have purchased rewards and made donations! To have reached this amount is very humbling.

We have 2 days left, and I would love to make it to 30% of the target ($5000 which will be enough to make some moulds for the wooden temples, along with a new milling table and replace the sanding and polishing tumblers) and whilst sunglasses and wont make it in time for Christmas gifts, they will be ready in January just in time for the hot February months!
Earrings are all ready to be sent off if ordered today or tomorrow (australia only) they will be ready for the perfect Christmas gifts the same as the wooden coaster sets!

So jump on the crowdfunding link in bio, send me a dm, or click on the link below to grab your reward and support the campaign!
