ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Bausch + Lomb Contact Lens Recycling Program Makes Significant Strides

TerraCycle Include USA Bausch + Lomb
Bausch + Lomb announced earlier this month that its exclusive One by One Recycling Program has recycled a combined total of more than five million units of used contact lenses, blister packs and top foils since the program’s inception in November 2016. The program is made possible through a collaboration with TerraCycle, a company that collects and repurposes hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste. Bausch + Lomb and TerraCycle said they have diverted nearly 31,000 pounds of used contact lenses, blister packs and top foils to date, the equivalent of approximately two and a half times the weight of an elephant, from oceans, lakes, streams and landfills.
