Shades of waste

A Belgium-based startup plans to produce the first 3D sunglasses made from recycled plastic. The company, w.r.yuma — pronounced “We are Yuma” and named after one of the sunniest places on Earth, in Arizona — began a month-long online crowd-sourcing campaign on Kickstarter last week.

After two years of prototyping and testing, it promises to transform old car dashboards, soda bottles, fridges and other plastic waste.
