A Trusted Material

The Legacy of SPX^®
For years, Silhouette’s SPX^®+ material has redefined eyewear. Ultra-light, flexible, and durable, it sets the standard for frames designed for visionaries, driven by aesthetics. But at Silhouette, we never stop asking: How can we do better? Is there a way to continue what we’re doing, but in a more sustainable way? Could we take everything that makes SPX^® exceptional while breaking new ground in sustainability?

The Evolution to SPX® Green+

SPX^® Green+ is the answer to that question. Building on the trusted performance of SPX^®, it’s now made with bio-circular materials derived from organic materials, such as agricultural and forestry by-products. Through a process powered entirely by 100% renewable energy, these materials are transformed into a material that eliminates the need for fossil fuels and reduces carbon emissions by up to 60% (compared to fossil-based materials) —while offering the same exceptional stability, flexibility, and functionality as SPX^®+.

A Responsible Reinvention

SPX^® Green+ doesn’t just deliver sustainability—it also preserves everything you love about Silhouette frames. They remain ultra-light for unmatched comfort, durable enough to maintain their shape, and flexible to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

The translucent, nature-inspired colors add a fresh and timeless aesthetic that connects beauty with purpose.

The Conscious Choice

With SPX^® Green+ and the Clear Sky Collection, Silhouette sets a new standard: innovation and responsibility are no longer a choice—they are a necessity. This is eyewear designed for those who demand uncompromising quality and a commitment to the planet.
