An Indian startup has made a major breakthrough with what it claims to be the “world’s first recycled sunglasses” made from discarded packets of chips.

The Pune-based company, founded by Anish Malpani, announced the launch of glasses in a video posted on Twitter.

The video also features the process behind creating sunglasses from multi-layered plastics (MLP).

In the series of tweets, he explains that they are not just recycling packets of chips but also all kinds of “impossible-to-recycle” multi-layered plastic packaging (MLP) - including chocolate wrappers, milk packets, and essentially any flexible packaging.

“This multi-layered plastic waste is considered impossible to recycle with close to 0% being recycled globally. 80% of all ocean leakage is flexible plastic packaging. It’s honestly the worst,” he wrote in his tweet.
