Our friends at NEUBAU Eyewear were awarded with the first CSE – Certified Sustainable Eyewear Award in the category “Sunglasses Europe” at this year’s MIDO for their special commitment to sustainability. The sustainable Eyewear brand won with their model “ROMY”, which is made from the 100% plant-based material natural3D using innovative 3D-printing technology in a no-waste method.
The jury of experts evaluated the nominated products based on detailed criteria on their environmental and social impact, taking into consideration the product’s entire life cycle. The criteria include recycling of materials, minimization of consumption in production and distribution processes, optimal use of the supply chain, elimination of waste, recyclability, and use of renewable energy. The motivation of who wins the award was based on the following factors, which were proven to be best at NEUBAU: Handmade products, a local and carbon-neutral production in the heart of Austria, the innovative plant-based 3D material, as well as clear and effective communication combining sustainability and aesthetics.

Last year, together with the Silhouette Group, NEUBAU celebrated its biggest success to date concerning to sustainability milestones. In 2022, the production facility in Linz was certified as carbon-neutral (with compensation) by TÜV Austria. To be transparent in their communication, NEUBAU also gives a detailed overview of their sustainability commitments in their Sustainability Guide.
The CSE Award is not the first recognition NEUBAU has received. In September 2022, NEUBAU won the SILMO d’Or “Prix Spécial du Jury” for the futuristic design “XENON”. These two awards within one year are further proof that design and sustainability can go hand in hand.
