Got old contact lenses and packaging? Don’t trash them – recycle with us! ????
What to Bring
Soft Disposable Contact Lenses
Contact Lens Blister Packs
Foil Covers from the Blisters
Just drop them off at our store, Eyelevel Opticians, 37 Upper Street, Islington, London and we’ll take care of the rest.!
The Recycling Process:
- Collect & Sort: All the contact lenses and packaging dropped off at our Islington location are aggregated and sent off to the specialist recycling processor
- Shred & Wash: Once there, everything is shredded and thoroughly cleaned.
- Transform: The clean materials are turned into hard-granulated plastic granules.
- Extrude: These granules are extruded and used to create new plastic products like benches!
Why It Matters
We believe in encouraging the use of sustainable optical products that consider their entire lifecycle – from creation to disposal. Our recycling initiative helps reduce landfill waste by repurposing single-use plastics and optimizing packaging materials.
