Bausch + Lomb Launches Unique Contact Lens Recycling Program

Did you know? Normally, used blister packs, top foil and contact lenses are not recyclable locally. Usually they are filtered out and sent to landfills instead. But if you're a wearer, there's great news: The new Bausch + Lomb #OneByOne recycling program lets you recycle your used lenses, blister packs and top foil, free of charge. And that's true whether you wear Bausch + Lomb Biotrue Oneday lenses, other Bausch + Lomb brands or any other contact lens brand. If keeping Mother Earth cleaner isn't enough motivation for you, for all recycled materials received, Bausch + Lomb is donating to the eye care charitable organization Optometry Giving Sight. The program was developed in partnership with TerraCycle, a company that collects and repurposes hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste. How does it work? Simply place your used blister packs, top foil and contact lenses into a small cardboard box. When the box is full, print a free One by One shipping label, available at BauschRecycles.com. Take the box to a UPS location or ship it from your home or office. That's all you have to do! (Note: Don't include the outer boxes of your contact lens packaging. These can be placed with other cardboard that you normally recycle locally.)
