The Sunglasses Recycling Program aims to create a sustainable initiative that encourages residents to donate old sunglasses. These sunglasses will be refurbished with bifocal lenses and sold online to raise funds for local charities. This program not only promotes recycling but also supports the community through charitable contributions.
The target market includes environmentally conscious individuals, local residents, and charity supporters within the district. The program also appeals to those in need of affordable eyewear solutions.
Residents can donate old sunglasses at designated collection points throughout the district. Partnerships with local businesses will be established to serve as drop-off locations.
Donated sunglasses will be assessed for quality. Those suitable for refurbishment will have bifocal lenses added by trained professionals. A quality control process will ensure all refurbished sunglasses meet safety and aesthetic standards.
Refurbished sunglasses will be sold through an e-commerce website. Marketing efforts will include social media campaigns, local events, and collaborations with local influencers to raise awareness and drive sales.
