Acetate is the leading frame material used for premium, optical-quality eyewear. It's plant-based and semi-synthetic; cotton and wood pulp are combined with plasticizers to create a vibrant, durable frame that can be polished to a high gloss and custom-shaped by opticians. Bioacetate shares acetate's best properties, and is also biodegradable and petroleum-free.
