Enhance Your Adventure. Decrease Your Impact.
Our mission is to create sunglasses that enhance your time outdoors while working to protect the world around us. Most Zeal Optics frames are made from Z-Resin, a partially plant-based material derived from the castor plant. The castor plant is a fast-growing perennial that is easy to grow, withstands drought and thrives on marginal lands. We process the castor beans into our proprietary Z-Resin material which replaces a minimum of *45% of the petroleum-based plastics in our sunglasses. This durable partially plant-based material also contributes to a lighter finished weight, making our sunglasses more comfortable for everyday wear and activity. Contains a minimum of *45% plant-based bio resin.
