The packaging is much more than a box to store your PARAFINA. It is a symbol of Parafina Social Project. Every year Parafina donate a 5% of profits to this project, which supports the building of schools for underprivileged children in the small city of Asuncion, Paraguay. Every time you buy some PARAFINA you will receive them in a pencil case like the one the students receive at the beginning of the course.
Inside this case, made with 100% recycled HDPE plastic, you will receive a micro fiber pouch to protect your glasses. Also in the case is an ecological pencil. Once consumed, you can plant and grow a tree. In this way, you can help reduce the carbon footprint of the sunglasses manufacturing process.
