Developing Eyewear Product Category Rules (PEFCR)

How should eyewear measure environmental impact — and who gets to decide?
Frame the Future is convening the industry to form the task force for the development of the EU’s Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) for eyewear.
PEFCR defines the methodology for how environmental impact is measured within a product category. For eyewear, this is a chance to help build a more consistent, credible and science-based approach to environmental assessment — together.
To guide this process, we are partnering with 2B Policy — experts in sustainability policy and environmental footprint methodologies, who have helped shape this work in fashion and several other sectors. Their experience will help translate a complex EU framework into a practical pathway for the eyewear industry.
