Glow Up Sustainably with Sunglasses Made from Recycled Pill Bottles

You read that right. These bold, beach-ready sunglasses are made from recycled prescription pill bottles. And yes—they’re just as chic as they are eco-conscious. Talk about fashion with a mission.

Cocoplum is a women-owned brand that launched in 2024 with one brilliant goal: keep billions of unrecyclable prescription bottles out of landfills and transform them into something fabulous. The result? Head-turning shades in vibrant colors that scream fun in the sun—without hurting the planet.

And guess what? I’m officially a Cocoplum ambassador! That means you get 15% off any pair using code VOGUEGENICS.

How It Works (aka: Pure Magic)

Most curbside recycling programs won’t take prescription bottles. Cocoplum steps in where the system fails and the landfill looms. Here’s the glow-up process:

  1. Bottles are donated (you can send yours in for free—yep, zero cost).
  2. They’re shredded into “pill bottle confetti”—colorful, crunchy plastic bits.
  3. That confetti is melted and molded into your next favorite accessory.

You can even watch it happen. Cocoplum’s founder walks through the entire transformation in this Instagram reel, and it’s strangely mesmerizing.

Voguegenics Pick: Sol Mate in Black AND Watermelon 🍉

My current faves? The Sol Mate in Black AND Watermelon. They’re playful, punchy, and have that whole “main character lounging on a pool float” energy. But honestly, all of Cocoplum’s designs are fresh, joyful, and unapologetically bold.

Want to Recycle Your Own Pill Bottles?

Cocoplum makes it absurdly easy. They’ll send you a free prepaid shipping label so you can donate your cleaned, label-free prescription bottles—without spending a dime.

Why Voguegenics Loves Cocoplum

Between Derek’s medications, my own health journey, and a mountain of daily supplements, we’ve seen firsthand how fast those orange bottles pile up. It always bugged me that recycling centers wouldn’t take them and it seemed so wasteful—until now:

Until Cocoplum.

This brand gives those bottles a second life. It gives us the chance to make everyday fashion choices that feel as good as they look. It’s ethical, it’s joyful, and it’s stylish AF.
