Mike Lewis, Marketing Director at Zeal Optics, discusses the innovative company’s high performance plant-based and recycled plastic sunglasses and ski/snowboard goggles. In addition to its leadership in advanced, earth-friendly materials, Zeal Optics is also leading the way with its “Buy a Zeal, Plant a Tree” campaign in partnership with the National Forest Foundation and Tree Canada. Last year, the company planted over 10,000 trees. Now, for “Cyber Monday” and “Giving Tuesday” the company is planting not 1 but 10 trees for each pair sold!

Zeal Optics pioneers advanced eco-appropriate eye wear with their Z-resin frames and Ellume polarized lenses (both made from castor plants). They also make the See Grass frames using recycled PET and agricultural byproducts from hemp, rice, flax, and straw. In addition to its tree-planting campaigns, the company also partners with Plastic Bank in British Columbia for its Shades for Seas campaigns, through which product sales activate ocean plastic clean up – 5 pounds for each product sold! Zeal Optics was founded in Moab, Utah in 1997 by Michael and Wink Jackson, and is now headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
