Our goal is simple: Do better every day. As a part of our commitment to plastic neutrality, we would be nowhere without the people who make it possible. Thanks to our eye care professionals, our collaboration with Plastic Bank and CooperVision contact lens wearers, we’ve helped prevent the equivalent of 100 million plastic bottles from entering the world’s oceans. And while it’s a milestone worth celebrating, it’s a step in our journey toward ever-greater sustainability.
*Plastic Bank uses 1 kg of plastic to equal 50 bottles. plastic-neutral.coopervision.com/plastic-neutrality
†Net plastic neutrality is established by purchasing credits from Plastic Bank. A credit represents the collection and conversion of one kilogram of plastic that may reach or be destined for waterways. CooperVision purchases credits equal to the weight of plastic in participating brand orders in a specified time period. Plastic in participating brand plastic is determined by the weight of plastic in the blister, the lens, and the secondary package, including laminates, adhesives, and auxiliary inputs (e.g., ink).
‡Participating brand orders is defined as orders and includes sphere, 1 day toric, and multifocal product sold & distributed by CooperVision. CVI data on file, 2022 for a complete list of participating
