An essential commodity, safety glasses are invaluable to many professions, but are rendered unsafe when scratched, impacted or otherwise damaged. Now replacing them won't feel so environmentally unfriendly.

See the new stylish and environmentally conscious options from Body Glove 459 Series, Decade SS Series and Decade Sosa Series. Constructed of polycarbonate plastic, new Decade brand and Body Glove glasses will biodegrade to humus with the help of native bacteria already present in landfill environments.
In order to foster and encourage biodegredation, we've added a tiny amount of New Mexico-developed Eco-Pure material to our plastic during manufacturing. Once the glasses are discarded, Eco-Pure's unique chemistry will attract hungry microbes to the surface of the glasses, and the bacteria will break them down to humus within a fraction of the time required to break down untreated plastic.
Don't worry, unless you live 10 feet underground, with your head stuck in the dirt, our safety glasses won't begin to disintegrate until they are buried in a landfill or similar environment.
Body Glove Bio's new glasses are created with material that, when thrown away, will attract microbes to speed up the breakdown of plastic. After one year*, items constructed with this new additive show deep degradation caused by microbes.
In a small fraction of the amount of time it would take non-treated plastics to degrade, our plastic will turn into stable humus (which balances soil pH and helps keep soils aerated) and methane (in anaerobic) or carbon dioxide (in aerobic conditions).
Stylish, ANSI Z87.1-2010 compliant 459 glasses are designed to meet your corporate and personal environmental goals.
