Plastic-neutral contact lenses from CooperVision

We at Discoutlens are committed to the area of sustainability and are excited to now also be able to support the sustainability concept from our partner, CooperVision.

Now with six successful brand families for just about any kind of vision correction, making it the largest selection of disposable contact lenses on the market, the „Singles“ from CooperVision are the solution for anyone looking for a practical, reliable and now sustainable vision aid for their daily lives. The best-known product families include MyDay®, clariti® 1 day, Proclear® 1 day and Biomedics®.

From now on, these will also have a new positive attribute. The entire portfolio of disposable lenses on sale in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is now plastic neutral. That makes it easy for contact lens wearers to act sustainably when buying contact lenses from now on.

As part of this action, and efforts to achieve greater sustainability, CooperVision is now cooperating with Plastic Bank®. The socially responsible company aims to stop plastic waste in the world’s oceans by setting up recycling centers in coastal regions that lack a functional circular economy. By cooperating with the organization, the same amount of plastic is collected as is created in the production and packaging of disposable contact lenses by CooperVision.

That means that for every package of disposable contact lenses purchased, the same amount of plastic is removed from the environment, likewise making a contribution to the proper disposal of plastic waste.

Dear Customers, sustainability doesn’t end with your purchase. Contact lens wearers should also ensure that they dispose of their contact lenses correctly. While the lenses belong in mixed household waste, the plastic blisters, aluminum lids and paper cartons belong in their respective seperate containers. Despite increasing environmental awareness, too many consumers still go the easy way and dispose of contact lenses in the waste water or the toilet. That leads to the creation of microplastics.
