All MIDO exhibitors can apply to participate in the Certified Sustainable Eyewear (CSE) Award through November 27th. Created by MIDO in partnership with ANFAO and Certottica, this award assesses sustainability in the eyewear industry at an international level.
Recycled materials, reduced consumption in the production and distribution processes, maximization of the supply chain, elimination of waste, degree of recyclability, use of renewable resources, and any certifications already achieved, are some of the criteria the jury will use to determine the winners of the award’s 2nd edition. Winners will be announced during MIDO, February 3 – 5 at Fiera Milano Rho. The award is divided into six categories: CSE Award Sunglasses Europe, CSE Award Sunglasses Rest of the World, CSE Award Frames Europe, CSE Award Frames Rest of the World, CSE Award Cases Europe, and CSE Award Cases Rest of the World.
