Leading the Charge for a Greener Future
At Julbo Canada, adventure and sustainability go hand in hand.
We believe protecting the planet is just as important as protecting your eyes, which is why we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to provide top-tier performance eyewear.
From eco-friendly materials to energy-conscious production, here’s how we’re making a difference—so you can feel even better about your next outdoor adventure.
Sport Sunglasses Built to Last: Durability & Repairability
Sustainability starts with longevity. The longer a product lasts, the less waste it creates. That’s why Julbo ensures:
- Spare parts are available for over 5 years, so you don’t have to replace your entire pair of sunglasses for a minor fix.
- Lifetime guarantee on our photochromic lenses, reducing the need for replacements and keeping high-performance optics in play for years.
Your Julbo gear isn’t just a purchase—it’s an investment in long-term quality and sustainability.
Shorter Supply Chains, Lower Impact
Most eyewear brands rely on global supply chains that stretch across continents, racking up carbon emissions along the way. Not us. We prioritize local, efficient production in Europe:
- 75% of our production happens in Europe, reducing emissions compared to outsourcing to distant factories.
- We work with local suppliers, further minimizing the environmental impact of transportation and supporting regional economies.
- Our products are shipped from our Canadian facilities, delivered directly to your door – drastically reducing our carbon footprint.
By keeping our production close to home, we reduce waste and ensure ethical manufacturing practices.
Eco-Friendly Materials & Energy Use
A better planet starts with better materials. Julbo integrates sustainable solutions at every step of the process:
- Bio-sourced RILSAN® material is used in over 75% of our sunglasses. Made from castor beans, this high-performance material is lightweight, flexible, durable—and significantly more eco-friendly than petroleum-based plastics.
- RILSAN® is sustainably farmed, requiring no deforestation, minimal water, and producing 46% lower biogenic carbon impact.
- Recyclable energy powers our facilities, ensuring a lower carbon footprint during production.
Our goal? To create gear that performs at the highest level while respecting the planet.
Energy Efficiency at Our Factory
Energy Efficiency at Our Factory
Our European factory is leading the charge in sustainability with impressive environmental initiatives:
- 80% of the water used is recycled, reducing waste and conserving resources.
- 80% of employees commute via free collective transportation, cutting down on personal vehicle emissions.
Compared to production in Asia, this approach results in:
- 37% less energy consumption
- 98% lower carbon emissions from transportation
Julbo is proving that high-performance eyewear doesn’t have to come at a high cost to the environment.
Shipped Green: Carbon-Neutral Delivery
Eco-friendly production is just one piece of the puzzle—how we deliver your gear matters too. That’s why we’ve introduced Shipped Green, a carbon offset initiative that ensures every order helps fight climate change.
- A portion of every order supports carbon offset projects, helping to neutralize the environmental impact of shipping.
- No extra cost to you—we cover the expense so that every Julbo purchase is part of a cleaner future.
- Easy and automatic—every order is Shipped Green, no need to opt-in.
Now, your adventure-ready eyewear is delivered with sustainability in mind.
