Evil eye sets new standards for performance and material awareness with ECO PPX

From August 1, 2025, Evil eye will be using an innovative performance material in the production of its highly functional sports eyewear that is not only extremely robust and flexible, but also significantly reduces the carbon footprint.

ECO PPX - new biocircular raw material, equally strong performance

Anyone who is out and about on a bike, in the mountains or on a run places high demands on their equipment. The new performance plastic ECO PPX is made precisely for this: it is lightweight, flexible, durable and hypoallergenic - and completely replaces the previous high-tech material PPX, which was made from fossil raw materials.

What makes it special: ECO PPX is made from 100% biocircular raw materials - for example from existing organic residues from agriculture and forestry, such as tree bark or straw. An innovative process is used to produce a high-performance polymer that does not require any fossil oil. The result: a drastic reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional plastics based on fossil raw materials.

Made in Austria - out of conviction

Whether on fast descents or sweaty trail running tours - evil eye sports glasses with ECO PPX offer the same reliable stability, lightness and durability as before. All evil eye sports glasses are manufactured in Linz, Austria - with the highest precision and using electricity from 100 percent renewable energy sources such as solar power. Short internal routes and resource-efficient processes ensure maximum product control and minimum environmental impact. The decision to manufacture in Austria is a clear commitment to quality and responsibility for evil eye.

Resource-saving packaging

Thanks to the new ECO PPX material, evil eye is taking a further step towards responsible production. But nothing remains the same when it comes to the packaging of the sports glasses either: The new folding cartons are made from at least 70 percent recycled material and FSC-certified fibers. The FSC seal stands for transparent forestry, the protection of ecosystems and fair working conditions. The new microfiber bag is now also made from 95% recycled PET - with improved cleaning properties and continued optimum protection for sports glasses.

A conscious decision

The switch to the performance plastic ECO PPX is a conscious decision in evil eye's brand strategy. The sports eyewear specialist from Austria is focusing on specific measures that both improve the performance of its products and use resources more consciously.

Everything stays better

With ECO PPX, evil eye sets new standards for sustainable sports performance - and proves that responsibility and high performance are not a contradiction in terms. Anyone who builds sports eyewear for tomorrow must be able to do more than just look good. They have to think ahead. Think ahead. And think ahead.
