REGENESIS Unveils Carbonite™ at SILMO Paris 2025

On September 25, 2025, Regenesis took a monumental step in eyewear innovation with the launch of Carbonite™, the world's first practically unbreakable eyewear material developed from ocean-bound plastic waste and carbon capture technology. This revolutionary product made its debut at the prestigious SILMO Paris 2025 trade show, showcasing a new standard for sustainability and performance in the optics industry.

Transforming Waste into Fashion

After two years of rigorous research, development, and testing, Carbonite has transitioned from a groundbreaking idea presented at MIDO 2025 in Milan to a production-ready powerhouse. The material combines plastics collected from Indonesian rivers and mangrove environments with biochar derived from discarded coconut shells. This innovative process not only removes pollution but also captures CO₂, resulting in a high-performance material that is both eco-friendly and stylish.

Marcos Bulacio, the CEO and Founder of Regenesis, expressed the company's mission eloquently: "With Carbonite, we are not just introducing another material; we are rewriting the rulebook for what eyewear can be. This is performance that protects the planet. Every frame not only removes waste but also locks up CO₂ while allowing brands to lead the industry towards a regenerative future.”

Unmatched Durability and Performance

Carbonite is engineered to exceed traditional eyewear standards, merging advanced materials such as AI-enhanced recycled carbon fibers and a unique kind of modified graphene that's 200 times stronger than steel. This ensures that the eyewear is not only durable but also offers incredible flexibility and comfort, making it suitable for both fashion-forward wearers and athletic consumers alike.

Features of Carbonite™ Eyewear

1. Eco-Friendly Production: For every frame sold, one kilogram of plastic waste is removed from the environment.
2. CO₂ Capture: The product locks carbon dioxide within its structure, contributing to climate-positive efforts.
3. Performance: Matches or outperforms traditional virgin Nylon TR90 materials.
4. Cost-Efficiency: Significantly reduces expenses associated with conventional performance plastics.
5. Emissions Reduction: Aims to cut emissions by approximately 80% during production.
6. Traceability: Each frame includes a digital passport assuring transparency in materials used.

The adaptability of Carbonite allows it to cater to both sport and fashion eyewear markets, with an extensive variety of coated colors and coating-free options that demonstrate its flexibility and aesthetic appeal. With a fully recyclable composition, Carbonite sets a new benchmark for sustainable eyewear design around the globe.

The Future of Materials

Regenesis is not stopping at eyewear. With operations in Bali and ongoing expansion at the Center of Advanced 2D Materials at NUS in Singapore, the company is poised to lead the way in developing a new generation of materials. Plans include scaling Carbonite into various sectors such as fabrics, accessories, apparel, and consumer electronics – marking the dawn of advanced circular products aimed at cleaning and regenerating our planet.
