The acrylic used by Zap is made with recycled leftovers from previous production that would otherwise be sent to a landfill, the wood is sustainably sourced from responsibly managed woodlands, and the paper used for backing cards is recycled uncoated paper.
*Normally, Zap’s acrylic charms don’t come with hardware; you would have to buy any rings and attachments offsite. If you buy the Keyring option rather than the Charm option, you get a metal ring attached with a rubber clip. You get to choose the color of the rubber, but that’s as far as the customization goes.
