Plastics maybe fantastic, unless you consider the ecological footprint it leaves. This is why ZEAL Optics have created a new line of sunglasses made from plant-based materials – and this isn’t just the frames; it is the lenses as well. These glasses are made from using seeds from the castor plant, and these still offer protection from UVA, B and C rays, while the lens feature a hard coating to resist scratches.
From plant to oil to glasses. A new circle of development clearly is in the works.
