"Halting the destruction of the delicate ecosystem of our planet and the desire to become more ' green ' is not just another topic of conversation". It is the Mission of the Boo.

The Booglasses is a brand of Portuguese sunglasses that sells these fashion accessories â€" mainly in bamboo but also in wood-, what makes these glasses in a renewable and sustainable object. The brand was recently launched on the market â€" at the end of last year â€" at the hands of Marco Salinas.

"It can be said that this project was born a chance. One day, while browsing the internet, I discovered that already manufactured bamboo sunglasses and I fell immediately by the concept and the beauty of these glasses, "said Marco Santos to GreenSavers.

Follow to Booglasses Facebook.

Quickly this entrepreneur found that his glasses were a bamboo covered as yet unknown in Portugal and even in the rest of Europe, "where are the fingers of one hand the countries where there are these types of sunglasses". "Only in the United States, Brazil and Australia there are some brands on the market implemented. And quite successfully ", indicates. In this way, Marco Santos realized quickly that could bring this concept to the country. The name for the brand of glasses arose naturally, since corresponds to bamboo in English "bamboo".

The Booglasses are made entirely of bamboo, which has special advantages and ecologically positive: the strength and flexibility of the material and the strength/weight ratio. In addition, bamboo is a plant that grows more quickly, and may, in some cases, grow up to a metre a day. this way, bamboo can be used as a raw material without jeopardising the sustainability of species.

The glasses are manufactured manually, but not in Portugal. This is because, after a market research, Marco Salgado hasn't found who could manufacture the glasses in the country.

Currently, the glasses are sold exclusively online, through the website. However, Marco Santos does not rule out the possibility of introducing the brand in some commercial spaces. The glasses are available in several models â€" which correspond to species of bamboo â€" and colors. Prices vary between € 75 and € 80 euros. The lenses have UV protection and are polarized.
