THE RESPONSIBLE EYEWEAR ALLIANCE

THE
RESPONSIBLE EYEWEAR
ALLIANCE

Connecting
Vision to Action.

Frame the Future (FTF) is an alliance bringing the eyewear industry together to accelerate circular solutions and help shape the systems and regulations we cannot build alone.

ABOUT

Blue circular artwork hanging on a white wall.

We bring together the entire value chain: brands, retailers, suppliers, innovators, and experts to turn shared ambition into real-world action — through collaboration, standards, and practical solutions.

WHY FRAME THE FUTURE

Every industry reaches a moment where incremental progress is no longer enough.
For eyewear, that moment is now.

While many companies across the eyewear value chain are working to improve materials, processes, and practices, efforts have largely remained fragmented and isolated.

Frame the Future was established in response to support the eyewear industry in moving from isolated initiatives to coordinated action to achieve systemic change.
