Recycling in partnership with Biotrue® ONEday
TerraCycle and Bausch + Lomb have partnered to create a free recycling program for Biotrue® ONEday contact lenses and blister packs, as well as lenses and packs from other Bausch + Lomb brands.
How it works
Participating is completely free and very easy. Please note: Unfortunately, eye care professionals located in Hawaii and Alaska are ineligible to participate in this program at this time.
What you can recycle in this program
Program accepted waste: Biotrue® ONEday brand contact lenses and blister packs, as well as other Bausch + Lomb brand contact lenses and blister packs
Please note: Biotrue® ONEday and other Bausch + Lomb brand cardboard boxes are recyclable through regular municipal recycling. Please do not include them in your shipments through this program.
Best practices for recycling
To recycle this waste stream properly, please do not include any Biotrue® ONEday or other Bausch + Lomb brand cardboard boxes in your shipments, as these are recyclable through your regular municipal recycling service.
What happens to the waste
Once received, the contact lenses and blister packs are separated by composition and cleaned. The metal layers of the blister packs are recycled separately, while the contact lenses and plastic blister pack components are melted into plastic that can be remolded to make recycled products.
Rewards
As a thank for your dedication to Eliminating the Idea of Waste, for every qualifying shipment of 10 pounds or more, a $1/lb donation will be made to Optometry Giving Sight.
