Operating from the picturesque Danstruplund Estate north of Copenhagen, the brand embraces the beauty of nature in their work environment. Being an EU-based production, Monoqool adheres to stringent EU regulations, ensuring ethical practices throughout their manufacturing process. While the location and method of production are transparent, details about material sourcing remain undisclosed.
Monoqool demonstrates a commitment to sustainability in eyewear by using 85% recycled surgical stainless steel in the frames. While polyamide used for printing isn’t the most sustainable material, the 3D printing technology minimizes deadstock and contributes to a more sustainable industry. Additionally, Monoqool efficiently reuses 95% of excess raw material generated in the 3D printing process. However, transparency is needed concerning the chemicals used in production and finishing, as well as information on their packaging materials, for a comprehensive understanding of their environmental impact.
All of this brand’s products use recyclable materials, and they also use recycled materials, contributing to the circularity of the material. The brand itself does not have a circular business model, as they don’t provide any repair or take-back services.
Monoqool boasts an incredibly short production chain with design and 3D production taking place in Denmark. While the location and manufacturing process are localized, details about material sourcing remain undisclosed. They also do not mention their transportation methods within the supply chain, but we can already assume low emission transportation for the production chain. However, the brand does not conduct online sales, avoiding the emissions from shipping products individually to customers.
Monoqool does not use any animal materials, so they are theoretically a vegan brand unless they use animal derived products in the chemicals.
At Monoqool, prioritizing ultimate comfort is key. Their commitment is evident in the design of ultra-thin, lightweight frames with no screws, ensuring easy adjustability and happy customers. While care tips are not explicitly provided, the frames are crafted to be easily usable, efficient, and designed for lasting durability, promising a prolonged and satisfying lifespan.
Monoqool is very transparent about production and sustainable materials. However, more details on ethical production, sourcing, packaging, and transportation would enhance transparency.
