Our Sustainability Commitments

 

Protecting The Natural World

We share your passion about protecting the world around us, from tackling deforestation to reducing carbon emissions and our use of water. We’re working hard to limit our use of natural resources and find ways to protect the environment. All our paper packaging for ACUVUE® contact lenses come from responsibly managed forests helping combat deforestation.

Sustainability

ACUVUE® is committed to sustainable solutions that help you see the world and ensure it’s a place worth seeing. That means ensuring all our ACUVUE® contact lenses are made with 100% renewable electricity and that they are all fully recyclable through the ACUVUE® Contact Lens Recycling Programme – which has seen over 11 million contact lenses, blister packs and foils recycled since 2019†

 

Considering Climate

We’re reducing our carbon footprint and increasing our use of renewable energy. Since 2022, all ACUVUE® contact lenses are now made with 100% renewable electricity.

We have reduced secondary packaging for all our products, and we have made significant headway in reducing the impact of shipping, distribution, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.

 

 

 

Tackling Waste

We’re tackling our environmental impact by reducing waste, using less resources and helping consumers to recycle more.

Local recycling facilities will be unable to accept blister packs, foil covers and contact lenses due to their nature and small size. But, thanks to ACUVUE®, and our partner opticians, there is a solution. TerraCycle® and ACUVUE® have partnered to create a recycling programme for any brand of soft contact lenses, blister packs and foil covers.

Since 2019, the ACUVUE® Contact Lens Recycling Programme has seen over 11 million contact lenses, blister packs and foils recycled†.

 

Created the ACUVUE® Contact Lens Recycle Programme for contact lenses and blister packs with global recycling specialist TerraCycle®.
