HEADRIX Frames: Sustainability thanks to technology

That is why it is our main focus to make sure that renewable or reusable resources are used in the production of our glasses.

HEADRIX as a company stands for sustainability with the following points:

 

Manufacturing

• Additive manufacturing: Industrial 3D printing means no waste
• Made in Germany
• Our processes allow mass and one-off production
• Our self-developed automation software makes the production of individual glasses marginally more expensive
• Long-term cooperations with our partners ensure efficiency and a good way of using ressources due to consistent processes

 

Materials

• PLANTRIX is a polyamide based on renewable biological raw material.

 

Logistics

• Made in Germany: We have short transport routes and therefore lower CO2 emissions
• Complaint handling via photo without unnecessary shipping
• Lost-and-found: we try to bring every pair of glasses back to their owner and have therefore developed a system in which one can report found glasses

 

Processes

• All components can be reproduced in terms of geometry and surface quality at any time
• A spare parts supply is possible at any time, as well
• A color change to darker shades of the range frames

 

Ability to deliver

• Our supply capacities has almost no restrictions. We can currently produce up to 5000 glasses a day (30 construction jobs in 2 shifts on 6 machines). A higher number would also be possible

 

Product and accessories

• Our modern design and beautiful shapes ensure a pleasant, simple shopping experience and a high turnover of goods (avoiding overstock)
• Our partnership agreement rounds off the cooperation (avoiding stock risks)
• Spare parts: Individual parts of the glasses frame can be replaced quickly and easily, so the frame do not have to be completely disposed. No stock for spare parts is required
• All our frames can be adjusted anatomically (e.g. inclination angle or temple ends)
• Packaging: We use our boxes several times in the sake of environment
• The cleaning cloths are made from recycled PET bottles

 

In-store sales process

• 90% of Headrix frames are ordered from the ready-to-wear collection
• The frame sizing is possible with the professional eye, our analog measuring instrument or via our app

 

Digitalization

• Most processes in our Berlin office are digitally recorded and tracked
• Mobile app
• We can be reached quickly and easily at any time via WhatsApp

 

Our main research areas are

• Parametric design
• Matching algorithm between faces and glasses
