What are bioplastic frames?

Bioplastic frames are eyeglass frames made fully or partially from natural and renewable sources. In the case of Rilsan® Clear G850 Rnew®, 45% of its composition is made from a polyamide called PA11 which is produced from castor oil.

Castor oil is a multi-purpose vegetable oil extracted from castor beans. This oil is later polymerized to obtain the polyamide needed to produce the material.
