Did you know that more than the equivalent of 3500 plastic bottles have been removed from the ocean through our partnership with Coopervision contact lenses and Plastic Bank? Everytime you buy daily contact lenes made by coopervision (which are most of the contact lenses we supply) a donation is made to Plastic Bank. Plastic Bank are a social enterprise where plastic is collected by those in developing costal communities and those collectors receive a premium for the material they collect.
