About Karün
Karün is an eyewear company that designs and manufactures sustainable sunglasses and optical frames using reclaimed, natural and recycled materials. The company works directly with rural communities to collect waste materials (such as discarded fishing nets and metals) and converts them into high-performance eyewear while maintaining traceability and lowering carbon emissions. Karün sells via direct-to-consumer channels and through wholesale and retail partners, and operates a circular manufacturing program to support collection, recycling and local livelihoods.
